Lyrics
This life is like a fragile breeze,
It ebbs--it wanes--no guarantees,
From where it comes and when it goes,
Is not for this world to know,
But, we've a power to help us cope,
In Jesus Christ we place our hope,
In God's own word--simple and pure,
We take our rest, we rest assured,
For Jesus slept and rose again,
A triumph o'er both death and sin,
His promise is we'll rise and go,
On the day that trumpet blows,
For in a twinkling of an eye
He'll raise us to a place on high,
A place that will ever endure,
And in that place we'll rest assured,
(CHORUS)
Rest assured, rest assured
that all who rest in Him,
Have not just passed away from life,
but soon, will rise again,
So don't weep like the World would do,
In ignorance--a temporal view,
For we rely on other strengths
to fathom this life, at length,
With Christ's 'first fruit' and sacrifice,
God's promise stands and will suffice,
The Word of God, forever yours,
So rest in peace, now rest assured,
(CHORUS)
