Tired Side of Content Lyrics

I'm on the tired side of content

Exhaustion is my privilege

What's the point of getting to heaven

Being well rested and well fed?

No, I want to be spent

'Cause everything we have is lent

Oh, I want to be used

To give honor to the accused

Pass on the comfort I received in Christ

To see my need for his sacrifice

It's my turn to give it to others

As we become sisters and brothers

I'm on the tired side of content

Because I was taught the secret

Of being in plenty or in need

I can do all things through Christ in me

And I want to see Christ formed in you

He is the only person who

Can take our evil and turn it for good

And make you feel wholly understood

No, I want to be spent

'Cause everything we have is lent

Oh, I want to be used

To give honor to the accused

Pass on the comfort I received in Christ

To see my need for his sacrifice

It's my turn to give it to others

As we become sisters and brothers

True rest is not found in beds

Or made up inside our heads

We find it in Jesus' yoke

When we let him bear our load

He can spend us all he wants

Though our bodies wear the cost

Find joy in that crazy claim

Lose our lives, we'll call it gain

This is where my soul finds rest

On the tired side of content
