[Verse 1]
The sun shines and leaves blow
And my hope like autumn is turning brown
And I know it seems like I'm always falling down

[Chorus]
But it does not matter to me
Although it seems like it should
It's because I know I'm understood
When I hear Him say:
Rest in Me, little David and dry all your tears
You can lay down your armor and have no fear
'Cause I'm always here when you're tired of running
And I'm all the strength that you need

[Verse 2]
It's uphill both ways
Tomorrow I swear, I won't act this way
And I know it seems like that is what I always say

[Chorus]
But it does not matter to me
Although it seems like it should
It's because I know I'm understood
When I hear Him say:
Rest in Me, little David and dry all your tears
You can lay down your armor and have no fear
'Cause I'm always here when you're tired of running
And I'm all the strength that you need
[Outro]
You know I want to be like Jesus
But it seems so very far away
When will I learn to obey, obey
