REST IN ME

I see the sparrow fall from the skyThese little creatures cannot escape my eyeYou are more precious than these creatures of the airSo tell me then, why would you doubt my tender love and care?

CHORUS

Rest in me, rest in meI am your father, you're my precious childBe still before me, wait on me a whileAnd rest in me

My thoughts about you outnumber grains of sandI hold you safely in the hollow of my handI have even numbered all the hairs upon your headAnd sent my son to love you with the precious blood he shed

BRIDGE

In quietness and rest will be your strengthIf you will just be still, won't you let me come and fillYour anxious heart

At the tender age of 6, after the death of his mother, little John set sail with his father, who was a sea captain. John

later joined the British navy, but he was a very rebellious sailor. He even deserted the navy and was later caught, put

in irons and publicly beaten. He later would become a captain of a ship himself, the captain of a slave ship. John was

on a long trip from Brazil and to pass the time, he was reading a book entitled Imitation of Christ written three

hundred years earlier by Thomas Kempis. Then came a terrible, horrific storm that almost sent the ship and entire

crew into the ocean. After surviving this storm, this got John to thinking about life and about death. He knew he was

lost, he knew he was a sinner. The teachings of his godly mother came back to mind and John knelt and repented

and received the Lord Jesus. You can only imagine the storms and dangers that John had been through when he

penned those words. He knew that it was only by the Grace of God that he was not dead and in Hell.

After being saved, John would trade his position for the pulpit. John, a lover of the sea, took a land job and studied for

sixteen years and then was ordained in the Anglican Church and was assigned a pastorate in the small English town

of Olney. It was there that he wrote the words of Amazing Grace, and he was absolutely right, How Sweet the

Sound!!

"Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)"

Amazing graceHow sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like meI once was lost, but now I'm found

Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fearAnd grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appearThe hour I first believed

My chains are gone

I've been set freeMy God, my Savior has ransomed me

And like a flood His mercy reignsUnending love, amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to meHis word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion beAs long as life endures

[2x]My chains are goneI've been set free

My God, my Savior has ransomed meAnd like a flood His mercy reignsUnending love, amazing grace

The earth shall soon dissolve like snowThe sun forbear to shine

But God, Who called me here below,Will be forever mine.Will be forever mine.You are forever mine.
