His Fullness Songs ‎#264

264. Come, Get On Resting Ground

1 In the carnal state of sin and fear,
There can no rest be found
So press up where the light is clear,
And get on resting ground.

Refrain:
Come, get on resting ground,
Where peace and love abound,
Where Christ alone rules on the throne.
Come, get on resting ground.

2 The battle for awhile may rage,
More fiercely than before,
But all your pow'rs of soul engage,
And it will soon be o'er. [Refrain]

3 But don't give up, although it seem
You have no pow'r to win;
Christ gave His blood you to redeem,
And it does cleanse from sin. [Refrain]

4 Your case may seem a hopeless one,
And Christ seem far away,
Yet in your heart He'll make His throne,
If you desire and pray. [Refrain]

5 O don't delay, each passing hour
But makes your chance the less;
Just promise God to sin no more,
And claim His righteousness. [Refrain]

6 The Spirit's promise is to you
As well as those of yore:
Today by faith your strength renew,
And live forevermore. [Refrain]

7 No matter if you've tried before,
Try yet once more– or die:
There's rest for you in Christ, I'm sure,
He will not you deny. [Refrain]
