Rest

I wrote this song almost a year ago and I think that it has some valuable thoughts/longings within its lyrics:

I wish my soul, I wish my soul,
Could rest without growing idle,
I wish my soul, I wish my soul,
Could rest without growing idle,
To be so still and not run away.

I wish my soul, I wish my soul,
Would heed, would heed it's master,
When He calls
I wish my soul, I wish my soul,
Would heed, would heed it's master,
When He calls,
To listen so well, to listen so well and not run away.

What do you get, what do you save,
For leading a life that's righteous?
What do you keep, what do you gain,
For leading a life that's righteous?
I do not know, I do not know,
But you reap what sow.
