Smith Craig - Rest That Remains слова песни

Words by Charles Wesley/Music by Craig Smith Matthew 11:28-30Lord I believe in a rest that remainsTo all Thy people knownA rest where pure enjoyment reignsAnd Thou art loved aloneA rest where all our souls desireIs fixed on the things aboveWhere doubt and pain and fear expireCast out by perfect loveRemove this hardness from my heartThis unbelief removeTo me the rest of faith impartThe sabbath of Thy loveSafe in the way of life aboveDeath, earth and hell we riseWe find when perfected, perfected by loveOur long sought paradiseCome O my Saviour come awayInto my soul descendNo longer from Thy creature stayMy author and my endCome Father, Son and Holy GhostAnd seal we Thine abodeLet all that I am in Thee be lostLet all be lost in my God"And by the seventh day, God completed His work which He had done and Herested..." Genesis 2:2"There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For theone who has entered His rest has himself rested from his works as Goddid from His." Hebrews 4:9,10"Come to Me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest."Matthew 11:28"Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fallthrough following the same example of disobedience (unbelief)." Hebrews4:11God`s rest after the creation had nothing to do with tiredness. It hadeverything to do with completion. God had an eternity of energy andpower remaining, but He rested because His creation was complete. Haveyou ever wondered what God`s plan was for the eighth day? It was notmuch work; the work was complete. God desired to walk and commune withHis creation in His completed world that they might continue in His resttogether.Man interrupted that rest through disobedience and unbelief. We, in ournatural state, have chosen our way rather than God`s. We somehow havebeen deceived to believe that enough award of achievement, enoughsatisfaction of desire, and enough accumulation of possessions willallow us to reach a point of comfort in relaxation and rest. But, thereis always more to accomplish, more to experience, and more to possess.That is why we can find ourselves successful, yet unsatisfied,unfulfilled, and weary.It is then that the Savior gently invites us to come to Him, walk withHim, learn from Him, and share in His rest. To yoke ourselves with JesusChrist, we must lay down our burdens, surrender our motives, andrelinquish our methods. "Not my will, Lord, but Thine!" You must settlethat issue deep in your heart; once and for all. Then your rest willbegin. It will increase as you walk with Him, learn from Him, and applyyour faith.To refuse to settle this is unbelief--the disobedience that rules outrest. To lay aside the self-preferences of pride, lust, andcovetousness, and then trust in the promises of God will surely yieldrest. God`s plan has never changed; He has made provision through HisSon for your completion, and with completion there is a rest thatremains.--Steve Swift
