BE STILL

The heart struggles so much to be at peace;

The fear of illness and death brings unease.

The LORD bids us to learn how to be still in heart;

For He is God and much grace He will impart.

 

The heart has to learn how to exercise trust;

The LORD can give a peace that will truly last.

The challenge is to look up to the LORD in heaven,

Till He grants the much-needed enlightenment.

 

The LORD is indeed our Refuge in time of trouble;

He is our Strength and Help and we don’t need to grumble.

With the LORD there is great and awesome power;

We may trust Him even in the most darksome hour.

 

Fear that causes the heart to be unrest must be dispelled;

The heart is challenged to seek Faith that can excel.

As we learn to trust the LORD, our God Most High;

To the righteous, our merciful God will draw nigh.
