ABOUT STEPHEN

Singer/songwriter Stephen Stanley makes music with immediate emotional impact, revealing a depth of talent that comes from years of devotion to his craft.

At the age of nine, the Mansfield, Georgia-based artist learned to play his mother’s guitar after suffering an accident that rendered him deaf in his left ear, and quickly uncovered an innate musicality and remarkable gift for melody. By age 13, he’d added piano and drums to his repertoire, in addition to writing songs and leading worship at the church where his father served as a pastor. Over the last decade, Stanley has honed a distinct and dynamic voice as a musician, bringing both raw emotion and a profound sense of purpose to everything he creates.

Stephen Stanley – Rest In The Father (Official Lyric Video)

Lyrics

I can’t sleep

Cause I’ve got this divided frame of mind

I’m searching

For something that I can’t seem to find

I need a place to rest

Got to get outta my head

I need to make progress

Cause I’m just one step

From the line

I want this to be over

Oh God let this end

I keep getting closer

Closer to the edge

This weight that’s on my shoulders

Is causing me to bend

And I keep on getting closer

Closer to the edge

I’m losing my grip, now

Just hanging by a thread

I thought I was stronger

Than the thoughts inside my head

I need a hard reset

I’m down to my last breath

So can You fix this mess?

Cause I feel so stressed

All the time

I want this to be over

I know you’re on my side

Everything you tell me

Says I will be alright

This weight that’s on my shoulder

Is never gonna win

When I go too far over

You’ll catch me in the end

When I’m fallin off the edge

Did all your dreams come crashing down
Feels like no one hears you now
Did all the good things fall apart
Got so much anxious in your heart

I know that pain
You are not alone today

Even in troubled waters
Even on shaking ground
You can find rest in the Father
Lay your worries down
He won’t leave your side
He won’t fail you now
You can find rest in the Father
Lay your worries down

He will calm your restless soul
Remind you He won’t let you go
So when you feel that heartache call
He’s the safe place you can fall

Go back to the altar
Go back to the start
Go down to the water
Remember whose you are
Come back from the darkness
Run home to the light
No matter the chaos
His arms are open wide

Did all your dreams come crashing down
Feels like no one hears you now
Did all the good things fall apart
Got so much anxious in your heart

I know that pain
You are not alone today

Even in troubled waters
Even on shaking ground
You can find rest in the Father
Lay your worries down
He won’t leave your side
He won’t fail you now
You can find rest in the Father
Lay your worries down

He will calm your restless soul
Remind you He won’t let you go
So when you feel that heartache call
He’s the safe place you can fall

Go back to the altar
Go back to the start
Go down to the water
Remember whose you are
Come back from the darkness
Run home to the light
No matter the chaos
His arms are open wide
