When I Rested In The Lord
by The Whisnants

Album: New Day Dawning

V1:
Trying to cope with the pressures of life
Left me with weary days and sleepless nights
I searched for the answer, not knowing the question
I was running fast, but in the wrong direction
In desperation, I fell to my knees
And surrendered to the voice calling come unto me

Chorus:
My soul found peace when I rested in the Lord
I drank from the fountain, where living water poured
His mercy covered me and His grace made me restored
My soul found peace when I rested in the Lord

V1:
Just like the woman Jesus met at the well
My past was cluttered with the places I'd failed
And justice for me would be His condemnation
Instead, He offered me the way of salvation
I traded the ruins of a wasted life,
For a yoke that is easy and a burden that's light
