We Want Rest
PBA-021"We Want Rest" is a contemplative choral prayer expressing the deep human longing for peace and spiritual rest. The 2/4 meter creates a heartbeat-like pulse — steady, grounding, and intimate.
Scripture
Matthew 11:28-29 — "Come to me, all you who are weary... and I will give you rest"
Inspiration
Inspired by the universal experience of weariness — physical, emotional, and spiritual — and the promise that God offers true rest to those who seek Him.
Performance Notes
Keep the tempo steady and grounding at 85 BPM. The 2/4 should feel like a heartbeat. Dynamics should be mostly soft — mezzo-piano to mezzo-forte. Let the longing in the text come through without forcing it.
