Asleep in His Arms - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Tired from the work
spreading the good news
asleep in his arms
in the embrace of the father

Christ sleeping
while they thrashed about
able to find rest in the maker
of heaven, of earth, of us

Trust in the provider
God will see us through
the storms of life will not shake you
if you put your faith in him

------------
Jesus Slept

In the one who came from heaven
remembering the sabbath
taking time for rest
Jesus slept in the boat
the winds, the waves
the storm all around
trusting in the creator
to guide their path
to watch over them
leading them to still waters
rest from their labors
