To Bring Us To A Place Of Rest Poem by Lagaya Evans

God doesn't take us through turmoil
To bring us to a place of rest
He brings peace and tranquility
He only offers his best

Hush and Listen!
He speaks to our inner soul
He is a God of grace and mercy
He is the best friend I know

I know what hurt feels like
When I put my trust in man
Oh, how things change
When I lay it in God's hand

He doesn't understand our ways
When we choose death over life
The creator stands and weeps
As we live with hurt and strife

I lay all my burdens down
I cast them at his feet
He so graciously picks them up
Never again carried by me

Not once does he complain
He just wipes away my tears
He smiles and takes my hand
And assures me he does hear

God doesn't bring us pain
To prove he's a God of tests
God doesn't take us through turmoil
To bring us to a place of rest
