I am at rest in God alone,
My salvation coming from Him;
Comforts me whenever I moan,
Keeping my life from being grim.
Truly my soul waiting for God,
For He is my rock and stronghold;
Forgiving me when I am flawed,
Because I do what I am told.
He is always my defensive shield,
When threatened by another man;
And fighting on the battlefield,
Ensured not to foil His plan.
Then only plan to bring him down,
Since they take pleasure in lying;
Throw them into the sea to drown,
The place where they will be dying.
Rest in God alone, O my soul,
Because through Him will come my hope;
Enables me to meet my goal,
As I continue through to cope.
He is my rock and salvation,
My stronghold not to be shaken;
Till the day of tribulation,
When in Heaven I will awaken.
Salvation and glory depends,
On my refuge and strong rock;
Not only my God but as friends,
Through prayer I am able to talk.
Trust in the Lord throughout all times,
Pour out your heart to Him in prayer;
Asking forgiveness of your crimes,
Sincerely confess all to share.
We are only an illusion,
A low degree of vanity;
Preparing for the conclusion,
As we lose our sanity.
Place no trust into oppression,
Or become vain in robbery;
Avoid the bait of obsession,
Or the lusts of adultery.
God spoke once, and I have heard twice,
His faithful love belongs to you;
Allow not this world to entice,
Remember God in what you do.
