Our Hearts Are Restless

St. Augustine said, "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in You." This quote is SO relevant to my life. I am constantly restless when it comes to my relationship with God. It's definitely become WAY better since transferring to Franciscan, but between halfway through my junior year of high school and until I arrived at Franciscan, I was so horribly restless, I couldn't see God working in my life. I was in a dark night of the soul, first brought up by St. John of the Cross (whose feast day was yesterday, btw). But in being so completely restless and not seeing God in my life shows me now that I know with my entire being that God truly does exist. He touched my life when I was a sophomore in high school and from then on, I was never the same. I constantly am seeking Christ and want to get to know Him more. 

This song was written by Catholic singers Audrey Assad and Matt Maher. I've been blessed to have met Matt 4 times and Audrey twice. This song is based off the quote by St. Augustine and is one of my favorite songs by Audrey. 

 

You dwell in the songs that we are singing
Rising to the Heavens, rising to Your heart, Your heart
Our praises filling up the spaces
In between and frailty and everything You are
You are the keeper of my heart

And I'm restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
I'm restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
Oh God, I wanna rest in You

Oh, speak now for my soul is listening
Say that You have saved me, whisper in the dark
'Cause I know You're more than my salvation
Without You I am hopeless, tell me who You are
You are the keeper of my heart
You are the keeper of my heart

And I'm restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
I'm restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
I wanna rest in You

Still my heart hold me close
Let me hear a still small voice
Let it grow, let it rise
Into a shout, into a cry

Still my heart hold me close
Let me hear a still small voice
Let it grow, let it rise
Into a shout, into a cry

And I'm restless, I'm restless
'Til I rest in You, let me rest in You
I'm restless, so restless
'Til I rest in You, 'til I rest in You
Oh God, I will rest in You
