We Find Our Rest In Thee Poem by Frank McEleny

We were restless
Until we found our rest in thee
We were anxious
Until we glimpsed eternity

We were lost
Until you came to show the way
We were alone
Until you walked with us each day

We are fearful
Until we revel in your love
We are foolish
Until your wisdom flows in us

We were ungrateful
Until we gazed on Calvary
We were bound
Until you came to set us free

We were hopeless
Until we found our hope in thee
We were blind
Until you gave us light to see

We were afflicted
Until you heard your children's cries
We were dead
Until you said to us ' arise! '

We were hungry
Until you fed us from your hand
We were lost
Until you led us to the promised land

We are waiting
Until you come from heav'n above
We are praying
Until you crown us with your love
