Still, my soul

The offertory this morning at church was a song called "Still, my Soul be still", written by Keith and Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend. I really like their music, but hadn't heard this particular song before. The words are so rich, so true, and so applicable especially at this moment in life as "being still" is a theme of mine right now. 

"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

Be still my soul be still

Do not be moved

By lesser lights and fleeting shadows

Hold onto His ways 

With shield of faith

Against temptations flaming arrows

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 days are dimming"
