Wolves at the Gate - Rest Lyrics

May my lying down acquaint me with my grave
From this life it will save
I know I'm prone to sin, one day I'll be whole
These aching bones don't hold my soul

Someday I will die
I'll rest and leave this body
Not up in the sky
Will you ever find me?
Someday I'll be gone
I'll rest and leave this vessel
But not here, I'm moving on
In peace will I settle

Oh, they'll dig through all of the rock and stone
With hopes of giving rest to my, rest to my skin
My skin and my bone
They may take this absent vessel
They make take and put it out to sea
Not the Atlantic or Pacific I'll be

May I never lose the heart of the restless
When my eyes they close in death and when my body is breathless
May I never lose the heart of a vagrant
When I'm buried in the depths and when my body is vacant

Someday I will die
I'll rest and leave this body
Not up in the sky
Will you ever find me?

May my lying down acquaint me with my grave
From this life it will save
It is appointed once that all will expire
To their rest or fire
As your frailty confronts where you will attend
Heaven or Hell's the final end

Someday I will die
I'll rest and leave this body
Not up in the sky
Will you ever find me?
Someday I'll be gone
I'll rest and leave this vessel
But not here, I'm moving on
I'm pressing towards the Kingdom that will never fade

May I never lose the heart of the restless
When my eyes they close in death and when my body is breathless
May I never lose the heart of a vagrant
When I'm buried in the depths and when my body is vacant
May I never lose the heart of the restless
We were made for eternity!
