Rest awhile, weary child In the mighty arms of God Lay your head upon His chest Close your eyes and simply rest He knows all that you need He has heard, He has seen So come and lay your burdens down Let His love surround and hold you Rest awhile, driven child in the shelter of His wings They have been a place of refuge to both homeless and kings Rest assured, He knows your needs He is the giver of good things From ages passed, through eternity He's promised to Provide for you For you are His precious treasure He loves you without measure You are His delight, priceless in His sight... And wherever you may go, may you always know The tender love of God for you, never failing ever true That tender love of God for you, never failing ever true Rest awhile, broken child and by healing hands of God Hands that hold the reeling spheres Will wipe away your tears He who makes all things new Will do the same for you He is faithful, good and true and he's promised to restore you For you are His precious treasure He loves you without measure You are His delight, priceless in His sight And wherever you may go, may you always know The tender love of God for you, never failing ever true That tender love of God for you, never failing ever true
