This song came simply from a desire to reflect on the magnificant promise in the verse John 15:7 and how that needed to work out in our lives.

Lord, (Lord I long,)
I long to rest, (to rest in you,)
Lord I long to rest in you

walk in your footsteps (feel your pain)
cry out to the Father (in your name)
I want to see your kingdom grow!

and you say...
If I will rest, (rest in you)
and your words take root (take root in me)
I can then ask for anything
anything that I want
it will be mine.


Let, (Let your words)
your words take root, (take root in me,)
Let, your words take root in me
your goals and purpose (just your plan)
desire for blessing (on all lands)
I want to see your reign come here
and you say...

If I will rest, (rest in you)
and your words take root (take root in me)
I can then ask for anything
anything that I want
it will be mine.

and you say...
If I will rest, (rest in you)
and your words take root (take root in me)
I can then ask for anything
anything that I want
it will be mine.

Lord, (Lord I long,)
I long to rest, (to rest in you,)
Lord I long to rest in you
Let your words take root in me.
