Come Aside and Rest a While
Come aside and rest a while:
from weary times and endless strife;
from cares and woes of a shattered life;
from fear of feeble grasp on grace;
from fragile faith and loss of face;
from a worn out walk of faulty strides;
from a mask well worn and weakness to hide.
From all of this:
Come aside and rest a while.
Come aside and rest a while:
from daily cares and throes of pain;
from setting a standard with no gain;
from bearing burdens of fam’ly and friend;
from problem solving without end;
from weeping more than a now and then;
from fruitless praying with a no amen.
from all of this:
Come aside and rest a while.
Come aside and rest a while:
from body wear and feeble strength;
from taking remedies to great length;
from a physically fit – to fit to drop;
from hoping long for a body swap;
from suffering pain too hard to bear;
from lack of mending of the wear and tear.
From all of this:
Come aside and rest a while.
