“Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.” - Psalm 62:5
He never sleeps, He never slumbers / He’s been awake at every hour / No tear catches Him by surprise / He’s never lost, He never runs out / He never lives in the shadows of doubt / No fear catches Him by surprise // CHORUS: Find rest my soul / Put your hope in God / Put your hope, put your hope in God // He always is, He always will be / He always has been everything I need / How can this be catching me by surprise / He’s ever strong, He’s ever faithful / His love is real, now nothing is impossible / ’Cause nothing catches Him by surprise // CHORUS // I close my eyes, and I can see / The arms of mercy holding me / I close my eyes, and I can see / The arms of Jesus holding me // CHORUS // Put your hope in God / Put your hope in God
(Francesca Battistelli / Jared Anderson / Ian Eskelin)
Behind the Song:“Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.” - Psalm 62:5
This was one of the first songs we wrote for this record. Jared Anderson is a worship leader from Colorado who my producer Ian introduced me to. We all got together at Ian’s place, and Jared started singing this chorus. Ian and I looked at each other and just said, “YES.” I feel honored to have written on this song because it’s really special. My favorite worship songs are the ones I turn on when I’m overwhelmed and need to find a quiet place with the Lord. I hope “Find Rest” will be that for people. - Francesca Battistelli
