Sabbath Rest – I am not my own

Leave a comment

It’s no surprise that I’ve come to love this new hymn written by Skye Peterson and produced by the Getty’s.  How thankful I am that I belong to Him and I am not my own!

I am not my own and now my heart is free
O Maker come and make what You will of me
There is nothing broken that You cannot repair
So Lord, I leave my life in Your loving care

The One who made the heavens made my heart and soul
Before I drew a breath, I was loved and known
I am His creation, the Maker’s masterpiece
And all that He designs will be done in me

My body is a temple of the Living God
I’ll worship in this house that His blood has bought
As I bear His image, oh may I not profane
The holiness I hold in this earthly frame

CHORUS
I belong to the Lord, oh I am not my own
I belong to the Lord, I am not my own
I will honor Him for this I know
I belong to the Lord, I am not my own

And if He has redeemed me, I am not my own
The measure of my worth is His love alone
He declares my standing, and He declares my state
So I will know myself by the name He gave

REPEAT CHORUS

I am not my own and now my heart is free
O Maker come and make what You will of me
There is nothing broken that You cannot repair
So Lord, I leave my life in Your loving care

REPEAT CHORUS

I will honor Him for this I know
I belong to the Lord, I am not my own

Sabbath Rest

Sabbath Rest – Take Shelter

Leave a comment

If you’ve been stopping by here on Sundays for the past several years, you’ve probably noticed how much I’ve enjoy the music coming out of Getty Music. And maybe you’ve also noticed that I’m an Andrew Peterson groupie. So when I saw this new hymn from the Getty Team and Skye Peterson (Andrew’s daughter), I had to take a listen. And I’m so glad I did! Praying this hymn blesses you also!


When the nations rage and death is at the door
When the wars are waged as they have been before
There’s a refuge that I run to
A respite from my fear
Nothing in this world can harm me here

When my song of hope is swallowed by the pain
As the weariness of grief floods in again
Will you find me in the valley
Oh hear my helpless cry
Hold me as a mother holds her child

And I’ll take shelter
Take shelter in the loving arms of God
And I’ll take shelter
Take shelter in the loving arms of God

When a greater war had torn apart my soul
And the iron hold of sin would not let go
All of heaven stormed the darkness
In the power of the cross
I’m freed beneath the banner of His love

And I’ll take shelter
Take shelter in the loving arms of God
And I’ll take shelter
Take shelter in the loving arms of God

When the labors of this fleeting life are done
As the shadows fall we’ll see the lights of home
And then all our present troubles
Will be stories of the past
Safe within His gates we’ll find our rest

And I’ll take shelter
Take shelter in the loving arms of God
And I’ll take shelter
Take shelter in the loving arms of God
