Ms. Perkins is quickly emerging as one of the top recognized songwriter. Her songs are inspiring people around the world to tap into the realm of spiritual warfare by using the weapons of worship and praise. She believes that worship and praise are two of the most powerful but under used weapons of Christian warfare. Ms. Perkins is looking for recording artists who are interested in more than just songs that rhyme but songs with a positive message for this mess-up age.

Story behind the song

Short Description of Song
This song deals with two important elements of warfare - the ability to rest on God's word and the ability to wait on his word.  
 
There is a place of rest that is available for every Christian but you will not find it without a struggle. Psalms 37:7 "Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for him" and James 1:4 "But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. So often we want to rush God when all the time he is waiting for us to get to the place where he can bless us after patiencce has done her job in our lives.   

There was a season in my life when it seem like my prayers were not being answered. I had to learn that God has a season for everything. When I accepted the fact that God alone holds all the times of my life and he along knows the changing of my season then I was able to rest on his word. I hope this song minister to those who need to find that place of rest and stillness in God.

Lyrics

Verse I heard the preacher preach and I received the word 
The choir sang songs of Zion that brought joy to my heart. 
Then the storm came and the cares of this world weighed me 
down. The enemy rushed in like a flood. I begin to seek higher 
ground. 

Chorus: I learned to rest on his word. Oh yes, I learned to rest on his word. Hallelujah, I learned to rest on his word 

Verse Through fasting and praying I found his secret dwelling place. Under the shadow of his wings I did hide myself. 
Many answers I sought as I sat at his feet. This is the lesson I learned when I talked with my savior 

Chorus You must rest on my word., trust and obey. 
My word will never fail you 

Verse Lord, sometimes, it seems like I’m fighting a losing battle. He said, some battles you must fight but some battles are mine to fight. When you don’t know what to do. Just be still .I will speak to you in the stillness. 

Bridge Rest on my word, trust in my word, obey my word 
Rest on my word, trust in my word, obey my word 
Rest on my word, trust in my word, obey my word 

Lead Now, I know why the storms come, higher ground it 
makes me seek. Through fasting and praying his secret place I did find. Under his wings I hid myself and at his feet I did learn 

Chorus I learned to rest on his word. Oh yes, I learned to rest on his word. Hallelujah, I learned to rest on his word.
