I’m at rest, no more pain, no more suffering…Because I’m at rest
My eyes were tired and my head was heavy…Now I’m at rest.
When the world is raging and the rain has fallen..Think of me because
I’m at rest. If your eyes are filled with tears, and your heart filled with
grief and despair, Don’t cry for me because I’m at restThe battle is
over, I threw in my towel…I was weak, I was sad, but oh what joy.
No pain, no suffering, a new name,
And a new home because I’m at rest.
