RESTING IN GOD
For this song, I think I was inspired by hearing how children in some schools were loving the experience of meditation.
I have since learned that in the Townsville Diocese, Christian Meditation has been for many years an integral part of the prayer life of teachers and students in all Diocesan schools. They practice Christian Meditation as taught by the Benedictine monk John Main (1926-1982)
Perhaps this song 'Resting in God' might be suitable as a prelude or conclusion for a session of meditation or prayer. It is one of twenty-one tracks my album 'Growing in God' - possibly my most useful collection for liturgies and religious education.
CD and music book for this album are available from my online store. Also, pdf music for this song only.
Links to these items will be found further down this page. Or people interested to buy can simply phone me at 0425 328 185 to place an order.

lyrics
RESTING IN GOD
Resting in God. Resting in silence.
Resting in God - whisper your Name.
Praying like Jesus talked to his Father:
Help me to live the way I should
The way that you would.
Leaning on God. You walk beside me, by me.
Leaning on God through every change, praying.
Ponder like Mary God's life within her, growing.
Help me to love the way I should.
The way that you would.
Trusting in God. Closer together. (Closer).
Trusting in God - Your Spirit's here. (Praying).
So deep within me, helping and guiding. (In me).
Lead me to go the way I should.
The way that you would.
released September 24, 2021
