Take Your Rest live vocals Nicholas Mazzio Lauren Mazzio The Rain
Great drops of blood stood on your brow
You fell dying to the ground
Bearing the full weight of all my sin
Your Father withdrew his arms of love
You fell dying beneath the crushing load of my sin
You cried for mercy for the bitter cup you drank for me
Sleep on and take your rest
Your soul craved love and fellowship
But you were forgotten
You were ignored
You were forsaken
While bore my sins and more
My guilt
My shame
For me you bore
While I was sleeping
You were dying
While I was resting
You were wrestling
For my soul
To make me whole
Helpless
I am helpless
A babe asleep in death
I need you Jesus
Come and free us Jesus
Open our eyes
Open our eyes
Let us watch you die
See you cry
Feel you writhe in agony for me
For me you cried
For me you died
For me you pressed on through the pain
The perfect sacrifice
The perfect love
The perfect lamb
The perfect plan
The only way
The only day
I'm miles away in dream land
Asleep on the hay
In the fire
You came to rescue
You came to save me
While I am sleeping
Sleep on now and take your rest
For the hour is come when the Son of Man
Is betrayed into the enemy's hand
We all scattered and left you alone
Yet not alone
For you choose to believe
Though cold and lonely
Wounded yet brave
Holding on to your Father's word
That you are not alone
So you can press on to save me
While I'm sleeping
Through the scourge
Through the beatings
Through the mocking
You love me through it all
As you fall fainting
As the hammer fell
Pierced your flesh
You cry forgive me
You defend me in my sleep
You protect me
You watch over me
As I close my eyes
Jesus
In ease and warmth
While you suffer naked
Cold and alone
Please remember me
As I sleep on now
You say with tender love
Holding me from above
You watch over me
As the cold waves slowly overcome
And I can't breathe
I look above me
And it's only darkness
And I feel so alone
Yet I choose to press on
I choose to believe
Because you showed me how
That Jesus has said he'll never leave us now
You watch over me
As I lie down to sleep
In my bed
At the bottom of the sea
Oh Jesus wake me
Before it's too late
To show I love you
To show I see you
To show I want you
To say I'm sorry
Please wake me
Wake me now and on that day
When sleeping
Cold below the hard ground
Please let me hear your voice
Like trumpet sound
Wake me now
Let me know your voice
So I can hear you call me
On that day
Please don't let me sleep while you die for me
Sleep while you cry
In sinful ease
Sleep while the great drops of blood stand on your wounded brow
As you die for me
Please
Don't let me sleep
I want to cry by your side
I want you to know that I am watching
That I see your painful steps
As they press on for me
My heart reaching for you
Supporting you
A cup of water
Hands outstretched
To cover you
To hold you up
To let you know I see
And I know that's it all for me
Oh Jesus
I don't want to sleep
While you die for me
I want you to know
That I see you
That I love you
That I'm grateful
That I would die
Forever be lost
Without your cross
That I know I cost you everything
And I am sorry
Oh Jesus please
Don't let me sleep while you die for me
Jesus please
Let my eyes see you
My heart be near you
My hands be here for you
Stars glitter in the dark sky
See the stars falling
The breeze blows over
Let me feel th
