The love of God for us sinners is astounding. Thank you for this wonderful reminder, and for singing.
Jud 1:2 May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
REPOSE
Heavenly Father;
My faith is in thee,
My expectation is from thee,
My love goes out toward thee,
I believe thee,
Accept thy Word,
Acquiesce in thy will,
Rely on thy promises,
Trust thy providence......
I have cast my anchor in the port of peace,
Knowing that present and future
Are in nail-pierced hands.......
....take away my sighs and fill my mouth with songs;
and when I am restored and rest in thee,
give me summer weather in my heart.
—From The Valley of Vision; a Collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions.

There is a place of quiet rest,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where sin cannot molest,
Near to the heart of God.
Refrain
O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God.
There is a place of comfort sweet,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where we our Savior meet,
Near to the heart of God.
Refrain
There is a place of full release,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where all is joy and peace,
Near to the heart of God.
