TRIBL music - Rest On Us Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse
Like the Spirit was moving over the waters
Spirit come move over us
Come rest on us, come rest on us
Chorus:
Come down
Spirit when you move
You make my heart pound
When you fill the room
You're here I know you are moving
I’m here I know you will fill me
Verse:
Fire and wind would you do it again
Open up the gates let heaven come in/rush in
Come rest on us, rest on us
Bridge:
Come Rest On Us!

Rest On Us (feat. Brandon Lake & Eniola Abioye) | Maverick City Music | UPPERROOM | TRIBL
Meaning & Inspiration
"Rest On Us," a powerful collaboration from TRIBL Music featuring Brandon Lake and Eniola Abioye, emerges as a profound declaration of dependence on the Holy Spirit, released on February 5, 2021. This anthem doesn't merely suggest a desire for peace; it actively invites the divine presence to envelop and transform. The core of the song is a fervent plea, echoing the human longing for God's peace that surpasses all understanding, a peace often described in Scripture as a hallmark of His presence. The repeated invocation, "Rest on us," serves as a spiritual anchor, drawing parallels to the promise found in Isaiah 26:3: "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." This isn't a passive waiting but an active posture of faith, an acknowledgment that true rest is found not in the absence of troubles, but in the unwavering presence of God amidst them. The lyrical focus is on the tangible impact of the Holy Spirit’s repose, envisioning His influence bringing strength, comfort, and a settled spirit. This resonates deeply with the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 11:28, where He invites, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." "Rest On Us" unpacks this invitation, transforming it into a corporate, expectant cry for the Spirit to saturate the lives of believers, aligning with the biblical understanding of the Spirit as the ultimate comforter and sustainer, as promised by Jesus in John 14:16: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever." The song’s message is a testament to the enduring truth that in surrendering our anxieties and seeking God’s presence, we invite a profound and transformative rest that can only be found in Him, enabling us to navigate life's challenges with renewed hope and an unshakeable peace.
