Rest For Your Soul (Live From Texas)
[Chorus]
Come to me
All who are weary and heavy burdened
All who are hurting
Come to me
I'll be your shelter
My yoke is easy, my load is light
And you can find rest for your soul
Rest for your soul
You can find rest for your soul
And you can find rest for your soul
[Spoken Word]
Tonight
I wanna let you know that maybe everything you thought you should be
And that you could find on your own
Please stop
Stop trying to be God, and maybe you just made me God
I think the world does fake really well
But the church needs to do honesty a lot better
It's okay to fall apart sometimes, church
Becausе we have a Healеr
And it's okay not to have all the answers, because we know the Maker
Tonight
I resonate, I have three little kids at home, two little boys
And, uh, they're all under the age of six years old
They can't spell the word sleep let alone do it
So I'm tired
For whether it's rest, for whether it's peace, for whether it's answers
Tonight I am confident that the answer is Jesus
"Why, God?" is the question I asked myself
I was on an ICU waiting room floor the moment the doctors told me my dad wasn't gonna make it through the night
And listen, I hated my dad for a long time
But when Jesus rescued my soul, He did something special
And unforgiveness isn't supposed to live in a believer who's been given forgiveness from heaven
Jesus can
And He restored my dad and I's relationship, I felt like I got a best friend back
Tonight
I wanna let you know when the doctors told me he may not make it through the night
I asked "Why?" and I felt ashamed
Ashamed like I wasn't allowed to ask those kinda questions as a believer like it made me a bad Christian
But I understand it a lot better now
See, I have two little boys in the "Why, Daddy?" stage of their life right now
"Why, Daddy, does the Sun come out? Why does the moon shine at night?
Why are there so many boogers in my nose?
And why do they taste so good?"
And you know, they don't understand my answers like "Hygiene is important"
But they get on their daddy
And no matter how gross or how big or how crazy the question is
I want them all
Tonight, why, why do we treat God like He doesn't want our questions?
Maybe askin' "Why, God?" doesn't make you a bad Christian
Maybe it just makes you a kid who needs your Dad
Tonight, anyone with questions, this song's for you
