1 Kings 17:2-16 (ESV)
“Come away Elijah.
The journey is too long for you.”
Rest
In rest and quietness is strength
Rest
The battle is raging
In rest there is victory
The battle is not ours
The battle belongs to God
The Lord is calling us
To come away with Him
To His sanctuary
A secret place
Where waters of are flowing
Refreshing us
A safe place
In the cleft of the rock
Our rock
“Come away Elijah
The ravens will feed you.”
The Lord is our provider
Nothing is too difficult for Him
Rest
Trust in God
Rest is an act of worship
Come away child
By the still waters
Where healing flows
Mending deep wounds
Giving us hope
Where grace overflows
Come away child

Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.”
So he did what the Lord had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
