I Will Rest

V1
Are you not good? Do I not have your favor?
Is all my hope in vain that I have such a Savior:
A Lord who’s near, near to the brokenhearted
Who hears the righteous cry and saves the crushed in Spirit?
When all other ground gives way
Still my breaking voice will say

C
I will rest on who You are
For who You are is sure
Eternal and Unchanging One
Your promises endure
When all I have is this
On who You are, God, I will rest

V2
Should I have doubt? My faith is greatly shaken
My feet can scarcely stand on Christ, the sure foundation
In my own strength, I’d fall in but a moment
So hold fast to me now for, Jesus, I am broken
When all other ground gives way
Though this weary heart you slay

V3
Are you not love? Do you not have compassion
Are you not moved that I, your child, feel so abandoned?
I know you hear; I am not lost in silence
In my heart hides your Word, a well of deep assurance
When all other ground gives way
You remain my hope and stay
