Be Still My Soul
Posted By Jacque on January 18, 2009
I read over at Charlene’s about the UNCRC. I already had a post started about it to post, because it is very important that we understand the implications of its passage in our country. Instead, this is what we need in times like this.
Be Still My Soul
I read the words to Amanda’s Saturday Psalm & Praise this afternoon as the words and music played, and they were so soothing and comforting. I read them on Amanda’s blog as sentences instead of as stanzas, and I was so at peace because of them. I want to share them with you as sentences.
We need our hearts, our souls, to be still and hear all God has to say and remember that He IS Still God. Still.
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy 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 thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake to guide the future, as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake; All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart, and all is darkened in the vale of tears, then shalt thou better know
His love, His heart, Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay from His own fullness all He takes away.
Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on when we shall be forever with the Lord.
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
Be still, my soul: begin the song of praise on earth, believing, to thy Lord on high; acknowledge Him
in all thy works and ways, so shall He view thee with a well-pleased eye.Be still, my soul: the sun of life divine through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine
May you be abundantly blessed in the LORD, the One True God.
blessings,

I’m glad you posted this. Even though awareness is very important, nothing is greater than being still in our Lord. He leadeths us besides still waters and restores our soul. Whatever happens after Tuesday, God is already ahead of us. Thanks for the encouragement.
