A Land of Rest

A land of rest…
is there such a place?
That would certainly be filled
with God’s mercy and grace!
To have no worries
and just enjoy the land
would have to be sheltered
by God’s own hand.
Could you imagine
living in such a land?
While I could easily long for it,
I don’t know if I can.
I would be so afraid
of everything that could go wrong.
I would surely waste
enjoying God all day long.
But thank God for heaven
and God being in control,
for I know I’ll have that land of rest
and enjoy it with my very soul!
