Lyrics

Rest / Yes Indeed

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Lord you know how often I'm confused

And you know how often I've been used

But I keep my mind on you unless

I should be disturbed and lose Your rest

Often I am robbed of peace of mind

Often I'm tempted to be unkind

Try to keep my mouth shut 'cause it's best

Focusing my mind on You means rest

Kum-bah-yah-yay-ay-ay-ay

I have lived a life of careless ease

I've been doin' whatever I please

Ignoring what your Word says is best

And the things that You say will bring rest

Now I've turned and I'm facing the light

And I'm living life with all my might

I know being near You is the best

Love God and your neighbor, be at rest

Kum-bah-yah-yay-ay-ay-ay

I'm leaning on your arm, yes indeed Lord

Oh without your arm I can't make it

No I won't make it O Lord, no indeed, hmm

I'm leaning on your love, yes indeed Lord

Oh without your love I can't make it

No I won't make it O Lord, no indeed, hmm

I'm leaning on your arm, yes indeed Lord

Oh without your arm I can't make it

No I won't make it O Lord, no indeed, hmm

I'm leaning on your joy, yes indeed Lord

Oh without your joy I can't make it

No I won't make it O Lord, no indeed, hmm

I'm leaning on your arm, yes indeed Lord

Oh without your arm I can't make it

No I won't make it O Lord, no indeed, hmm

I'm leaning on your Word, yes indeed Lord

Oh without your Word I can't make it

No I won't make it O Lord, no indeed, hmm

I have lived a life of careless ease

I've been doin' whatever I please

Ignoring what your Word says is best

And the things that You say will bring rest

Now I've turned and I'm facing the light

And I'm living life with all my might

I know being near You is the best

Love God and your neighbor, be at rest
