Rest in Our Father by Raymond A. Foss

Like Jesus we can sleep
in the storms of this life
if we truly are faithful
we can find the same peace
rest in our father
the maker of heaven and earth

Stay faithful to our calling
doing our master’s work
being his hands and feet
his voice in the world
spreading his message of love
to the ends of the earth

on seeing the poem, “Jesus Slept”,
before posting it to FaithWriters today
------------
Jesus Slept

In the one who came from heaven
remembering the sabbath
taking time for rest
Jesus slept in the boat
the winds, the waves
the storm all around
trusting in the creator
to guide their path
to watch over them
leading them to still waters
rest from their labors
