Come Rest Awhile Video (MV)

Come rest awhile beloved one
The light of dawn has come and gone
The crashing tide to bedrock carves
The stories in your beating heart

Through gain and loss you shared a smile
As twilight nears, come rest awhile
Come rest awhile, come rest awhile

The world you walked with open arms
Brought shelter to the helpless ones

You gave to us, a father's love
Your mighty hand in a velvet glove

Your strands of blonde now turned to grey
A symbol of your journey's weight
So stop within this weary mile
Come close your eyes, and rest awhile

Still your shining light reveals
A gentle hand, the one that heals
It's your truth, it's your mission... carry on

On the beaten path, your stories tell
Of one who lived both proud and well

You walked your winding street of dreams
With a loving touch, your spirit beams

No mask to wear, no words beguile
Dear father, please, come rest awhile
Come rest awhile

So let the memories rise
Like the full moon in your eyes
May the woodsmoke and the embers
Bring you peace as you remember
How you cleared a path, to give us life
Your sons and daughters live in your light

A legacy of love and pain
Now frees your tears, like gentle rain
The mystery of tomorrow swells
The sunrise and the evening bells

Come rest awhile
Come rest awhile
Come rest awhile
Come rest awhile
