My Soul Finds Rest

My Soul Finds Rest

A Poem by Pennington

 Black wheels turnin' down the highway
Old blues songs playin' in my head
I'm speedin' down the free way
Tryin to forget 'bout what she said

I'm crossing the river
I'm almost free at last
didn't stop to eat dinner
cause I gotta get there fast


Finally back in Misssissippi
Lord you know it's been far too long
You called and I came quickly
You called me in a song

Well I wasn't born here
But this place it is my home
Fear of pain and fear
Lord I'm here with You alone

Big old oak trees and crop fields fill my veiw
God I've missed this
God but more I've been missing you
Here in you I've found true bliss

They call it Coahoma
Think it's some old indian word
In the heart of America
This is the Good Shepard's herd

Been here once before
Never wanted to leave
Cause here there's so much more
That's made me believe

The people are strong
The air it is clear
You should come along
You ought to come with me here

It's like the psalmist
With the image of the sheep
In the summer mist
My shepard he made me weep

My soul it finds rest
In you my God alone
Here I was forever blest
The savior became my own

I love how much you are able to confess your love for God!
There are times when I go outside and I feel like I can pray and no one will bother me. It's amazing how he made this earth. Yet some people look at the earth and not God. It's great that you see God.
