Be Still

burst

It’s 3:00 in the morning and sleep has abandoned me,
The sounds of the night are all that I hear.
Lying beside me, my husband breathes deeply;
In a little more than an hour he'll start his day.


In this quite moment, I call out for Your spirit;
“Please lead me, please guide me, please show me the way”.
"Be still  my daughter and know that I love you”,
Is all that I seem to hear your voice say.


Then my body relaxes and my mind starts to settle;
I’m content  just to lay here in the darkness with you.
Then the next thing I hear are the birds singing sweetly,
With joy in my heart, I start a day new.


Psalm 46

God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress.
Thus we do not fear, though earth be shaken and mountains quake to the depths of the sea,
Though its waters rage and foam and mountains totter at its surging.  The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
 Streams of the river gladden the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High.
God is in its midst; it shall not be shaken; God will help it at break of day.
Though nations rage and kingdoms totter, God's voice thunders and the earth trembles.
The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
Come and see the works of the LORD, who has done fearsome deeds on earth;
Who stops wars to the ends of the earth, breaks the bow, splinters the spear, and burns the shields with fire;
Who says: "Be still and confess that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, exalted on the earth."
The LORD of hosts is with us; our stronghold is the God of Jacob. Selah
