Be Still

Be Still

When struggling, hopelessly caught

In the swirling whirlpool of life,

Twisting and turning

Tumbled by turbulent waters–

Take a deep breath and listen!

Hear  God’s   sweet   silent   voice:

“Be  still  my  child,

be  still.”

When all around screams chaos,

Jangled nerves pleading for reprieve,

Pushing and pulling

Myriad demands dividing–

Take a deep breath and listen!

Hear  God’s   sweet   silent   voice:

“Be  still  my  child,

 be  still.”

When all broods dark and gloomy,

Dampened by bleakness and despair,

Wailing and weeping

Grieved by burdens, gravely you plod–

Take a deep breath and listen!

Hear  God’s   sweet   silent   voice:

“Be  still  and  know

 that

I

 am

 God.”
