Still, My Soul, Be Still

Thanks to our friend Chip and Doris Stam, we received Keith and Kristyn Getty's new album Awaken the Dawn when we arrived back in the States this spring. This wonderful album is structured like a worship service and has led me into the Lord's presence many times already. Highly recommended!

One of my favorite songs on the album is "Still, My Soul, Be Still." With a hauntingly beautiful melody and rich, scripture-saturated text, this song has been a real encouragement to me. Is there something in your heart tonight that needs to be stilled? Some worry or concern that only the Lord knows about? A burden that you simply cannot bear anymore? I wanted to share the text with you tonight, and pray that it will encourage you as it has me. Enjoy!

Still, My Soul, Be Still

Still, My soul, be still and do not fear, though winds of change may rage tomorrow,
God is at your side, no longer dread the fires of unexpected sorrow.

God, you are my God, and I will trust in You and not be shaken.
Lord of peace, renew a steadfast spirit within me to rest in You alone.

Still, my soul, be still, do not be moved by lesser lights and fleeting shadows.
Hold onto His ways, with shield of faith against temptation's fleeting arrows.

God, you are my God, and I will trust in You and not be shaken.
Lord of peace, renew a steadfast spirit within me to rest in You alone.

Still, my soul, be still, do not forsake the truth you learned in the beginning.
Wait upon the Lord, and hope will rise, as stars appear when day is dimming.

God, you are my God, and I will trust in You and not be shaken.
Lord of peace, renew a steadfast spirit within me to rest in You alone.
