Aaron Shust's song 'Rest in the Arms' is a gentle, reassuring worship ballad that speaks to those who feel broken, weak, or overwhelmed. The lyrics acknowledge moments when faith feels fragile and peace seems out of reach, yet they consistently point to God as the One who holds, knows, and loves us, promising that He will never let go. The song encourages listeners to close their eyes and trust in His presence, especially when life's waters rise and strength fails. It's a comforting reminder of God's unwavering care and a call to find rest and safety in Him.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
When you're broken, when you're weak
When you turn the other cheek
When you cannot speak of the bitter sweet, the bitter sweetness
When the floor gives out beneath
And everything that you believe cannot bring you peace
You're broken inside, broken in pieces
You can rest in the arms of the One who holds you
Rest in the arms of the One who knows you
Rest in the arms of the One who won't let go
You can rest in the arms of the One who holds you
Rest in the arms of the One who loves you
Rest in the arms of the One who won't let go
When the waters starts to rise and you've lost the will to fight
When you're losing light
Just close your eyes, close your eyes now
You can rest in the arms of the One who holds you
Rest in the arms of the One who knows you
Rest in the arms of the One who won't let go
You can rest in the arms of the One who holds you
Rest in the arms of the One who loves you
Rest in the arms of the One who won't let go
Have no fear I'll be here
You can rest in the arms of the One who holds you
Rest in the arms of the One who knows you
Rest in the arms of the One who won't let go
You can rest in the arms of the One who holds you
Rest in the arms of the One who loves you
Rest in the arms of the One who won't let go
