Be Still Oh My Soul

Be still my soul
The Lord is on your side
Bear patiently
The cross of grief or pain
Leave to thy God
To order and provide
In every change
He faithful will remain.

Be still my soul
Thy best, thy heavenly friend
Through stormy ways
Leads to a joyful end.

Be still my soul
The waves and winds still now
Still know
His voice who ruled them
While he dwelt below.

Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.

I woke up this morning and these words came to my mind "Be Still Oh My Soul". I don't usually wake up with such thoughts on my mind, so I decided to blog about this while it was still fresh in my mind. I couldn't find the lyrics of the song I was actually looking for, but I think this song I posted above is more than apt. Recently God has really showed His presence to me, and I there have been a couple of emo times. Though there was a tinge of sadness and apprehension, I was very happy as well. I think the words of the song above is really so suitable for the situation, applicable to most of us really. A reminder that what ever we may go through, no matter how hard, how impossible, how confusing....you can always commit it to God :)

"Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass."

- Psalm 37:5


"Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him: fret not when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes"

- Psalm 37:7
