Jesus, I am resting, resting in the joy of who You are;
I am finding out the greatness of Your loving heart.
You have bid me gaze upon You, and Your beauty fills my soul,
for by Your transforming power, You have made me whole.
Jesus, I am resting, resting in the joy of who You are;
I am finding out the greatness of Your loving heart.
O, how great Your loving kindness, vaster, broader than the sea!
O, how marvelous Your goodness, lavished all on me!
Yes, I rest in You, Beloved, know Your wealth of grace divine,
know Your certainty of promise, and have made it mine.
Jesus, I am resting, resting in the joy of who You are;
I am finding out the greatness of Your loving heart.
Simply trusting You, Lord Jesus, I behold You as You are,
and Your love, so pure, so changeless, satisfies my heart;
Satisfies its deepest longings, meets, supplies its every need,
compasses me ’round with blessings: Yours is love indeed!
Jesus, I am resting, resting in the joy of who You are;
I am finding out the greatness of Your loving heart.
Ever lift Your face upon me, that in waiting I might see
resting ‘neath Your smile, Lord Jesus, earth’s dark shadows flee.
Brightness of my Father’s glory, sunshine of my Father’s face,
keep me ever trusting, resting, fill me with Your grace.
Jesus, I am resting, resting in the joy of who You are;
I am finding out the greatness of Your loving heart.
