THE BEST REST <\/p>\n

Sometimes we can feel so tired,
\nThe limitations of our flesh,
\nBut when our battery runs low,
\nWe look to the Word to refresh.<\/p>\n

It is much better than gasoline,
\nOr even solar power at its best,
\nWe just go to Jesus and the Bible,
\nFor there indeed we find our rest.<\/p>\n

The Lord said He is our Sabbath,
\nAll of our burdens He can take,
\nBut if you try to do it yourself,
\nYou’re making a very big mistake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
