Restless - Audrey Assad


She makes me wish I could sing and write beautifully.

Coincidentally [or not?], the St. Augustine quote that is incorporated in this song is one of my favourites as well:

"You awaken us to delight in Your praise. You have made us for Yourself. And our hearts are restless till they find rest in You."

***

You dwell in the songs that we are singing

Rising to the heavens

Rising to Your heart, Your heart;

Our praises filling up the spaces

In between our frailty

And everything You are;

You are the keeper of my heart.

And I’m restless, I’m restless till I rest in You, till I rest in You

I am restless; I’m restless till I rest in You, till I rest in You, oh God.

Speak now, for my soul is listening;

Say that You have saved me;

Whisper in the dark, the dark.

I know You’re more than my salvation;

Without You I am hopeless;

Tell me who You are;

You are the keeper of my heart

You are the keeper of my heart.

Still my heart; hold me close; let me hear a still small voice.

Let it grow; let it rise into a shout, into a cry.
