Let Me Rest
Words and Music by Michael Wayne Smith
Verse One  Everything I've been building - Is slipping through my hands - I don't understand what I'm going through - But I know you have a plan  Verse Two The world is crumbling 'round me - The rain is falling down - There's questions without answers - But I know where hope is found  Chorus Give me faith to climb this mountain - Give me wings to soar above - And when I don't understand it all - Just let me rest in the arms of your love  Verse Three In you I have a refuge - Where I go in troubled times - So here in all the chaos I run to you - Where I know I can hide  Bridge You're my strength when I am weak - You make fear fall at my feet - I don't know what tomorrow brings - But I know you're holding me

When I See You Again
Words and Music by Michael Wayne Smith
Verse One  It hasn't been the same since you left us - I'm finding that it's harder everyday - I thought I was prepared for your absence - But the memories keep getting in the way - But I know where you are - And where I am going - And the longing in my heart draws me there  Chorus  And I will see you again - I will hold you again - And we'll forget the pain that tore us all apart - When I see you again - We will walk hand in hand - And a thousand years will only be the start - When I see you again  Verse Two  I watch the world move on and I'm still here - There's a part of me that feels so lost - But knowing that you're free and you're with Jesus - I guess that's what's helping me the most - So until that blessed day - When I get swept away - You're always on my mind and in my heart
