Rest

May my lying down acquaint me with my grave From this life it will save I know I'm prone to sin, one day I'll be whole These aching bones don't hold my soul Someday I will die I'll rest and leave this body Not up in the sky Will you ever find me? Someday I'll be gone I'll rest and leave this vessel But not here, I'm moving on In peace will I settle Oh, they'll dig through all of the rock and stone With hopes of giving rest to my, rest to my skin My skin and my bone They may take this absent vessel They make take and put it out to sea Not the Atlantic or Pacific I'll be May I never lose the heart of the restless When my eyes they close in death and when my body is breathless May I never lose the heart of a vagrant When I'm buried in the depths and when my body is vacant Someday I will die I'll rest and leave this body Not up in the sky Will you ever find me? May my lying down acquaint me with my grave From this life it will save It is appointed once that all will expire To their rest or fire As your frailty confronts where you will attend Heaven or Hell's the final end Someday I will die I'll rest and leave this body Not up in the sky Will you ever find me? Someday I'll be gone I'll rest and leave this vessel But not here, I'm moving on I'm pressing towards the Kingdom that will never fade May I never lose the heart of the restless When my eyes they close in death and when my body is breathless May I never lose the heart of a vagrant When I'm buried in the depths and when my body is vacant May I never lose the heart of the restless We were made for eternity! --- Rest - Wolves at the Gate
