Rest

Broken and wounded soul
Lord, here I stand
You call me to come to You
Just as, just as I am
And rest; I'll find my rest
In You, rock and fortress
My rest is now and ever in You

To know You as I am known -
My one desire
So humble this heart of stone
Refine, refine with fire
Of mercy i will sing
So new every morning
Yes, mercy ever comes from You

So glory and praise now
To You alone, always, Lord
Your love remains forever the same
All glory and praise now
To You alone, always, Lord
Your name is lifted high above all names

Saviour, Redeemer, Friend
My God and King
This grateful heart, without end
To You, to You I bring
My life I give to You
Restore, refresh, renew
My life is ever hid in You

My life I give to You
Your heart I will pursue
My life, I'll every live for You

The Warrior is a Child

Lately I've been winnin' battles left and right
But even winners can get wounded in the fight
People say that I'm amazin'
Strong beyond my years
They don't see inside of me
I'm hidin' all the tears

They don't know that I go runnin' home
When I fall down
They don't know who picks me up
When no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just awhile
'Cause deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
