Boundless Love ‎#45

45. I Am Resting

1 I am resting now at Jesus’ cross,
I am counting all earth’s joys but dross;
I am waiting now to hear the call,
That bids earth’s strongest shackles fall.

Refrain:
I am resting, I am resting,
I am resting, I am resting at the cross;
I am resting, I am resting,
I am resting, I am resting at the cross.

2 I am waiting at my Master’s feet,
I am praying that He’ll make me meet;
For the blessed joy He does prepare,
And with His own will freely share. [Refrain]

3 I am waiting just a little while,
Till I shall see my Saviour’s smile;
I will bid goodbye to all earth’s care,
And then a crown of glory wear. [Refrain]

4 I am waiting, still it won’t be long,
Till I shall sing the victor’s song;
Till I shall join the choir above,
And chant my great Redeemer’s love. [Refrain]
