Songs can be a resting place for our souls. They provide a container for words and concepts to exist in a way that we can revisit over and over, that we can sink into and be surrounded by.

See if there are any lines from this song you want to grab onto as a Scripture-based affirmation for your soul that you can lean on throughout the week. Here are a few suggestions:

"Your grace is enough for all of my life"

"There's not one thing I could do to earn love from You"

"You are my fullness"

Rest

The world will spin faster

They say, hustle harder to earn your blessing, to be in demand

But I'll choose to boast in You alone

For every good thing comes from Your hand

Striving apart from You leaves me dry every time

So I'll rest in You

There's not one thing I could do to earn love from You

So I'll rest in Your grace

You are my fullness, my source of strength

So I'll rest

Opinions will change

But Your word remains

I'll choose to stand on truth instead of overextending

to make sure they're happy with me

They won't always be, but my audience is only One

And that's you Lord, my Lord

I lay down my pride

in Your goodness I hide

Your grace is enough for all of my life

I raise up my hands

My heart's open wide

All that I want is to be by Your side

Rest
