Hush, my beloved, and rest

I wrote a song this morning. This is a first - I don't write songs, but today I did. Oddly enough, it's in the key of Eb. Another thing that never happens. ;-)

~~~~~~~~

I'm weary of exhaustion from meaninglessness,
Of trying so hard and seeing the same mess

(refrain)
Just hush, my beloved, and rest;
Just hush, my beloved, and rest.

I can't go on seeking my way in these things,
it never gives joy like Your purpose brings.

(refrain)
Just look, my beloved, and trust;
Just look, my beloved, and trust.

(bridge)
How happy is the one who fears the Lord,
Who lines up with his very own word.
Your work will bear fruit and your home will be blessed.

(refrain)
Just hope, my beloved, and trust;
Just hope, my beloved, and trust.
