My soul finds rest
In God alone
My peace depends on Him
In that place of quiet rest
He fills me from within
He pours on me His holy oil
The Spirit of the living God
Then He takes me by His hand
And comforts me
With His love
Comfort me with Your love
Those who wait upon the Lord
New strength He gives them
He gives them wings
Like the eagle
That they might soar
With Him
He weaves His strength
Into their lives
The Spirit of Adonai
Then He gives them
All of His peace
To guard their hearts
And their minds
Guarding our hearts
And minds
So come my soul
Now take your rest
Find your peace in Him
The holy presence of the Lord
That fills you from within
