be still oh my soul
though the chains they grow tighter
be still oh my soul
though the walls each day shrink
be still oh my soul
though the darkness is heavy
and the air ever thinner
each day harder to think
be still oh my soul
though the mountains do tremble
though my mind is at war
and the flames have grown high
be still oh my soul
though it might be the day
this just might be the day
when we feel we could die
be still oh my soul
and forget not His mercy
forget not His wonder
His love and His might
be still oh my soul
and remember, remember
long days He walked beside
held us close through the night
be still oh my soul
and list off all His mercies
recount one and all
the good things He has done
be still oh my soul
and sing praise for His kindness
look long at His face
it’s as bright as the sun
be still oh my soul
and this hard one’s important
for this moment, these chains
to Him lift up our praise
it’s not what we wanted
it’s beyond all endurance
but He knows all that, too
He’s the Ancient of Days
be still oh my soul
look hard beyond this moment
this flash and this blink
this brief wisp of a life
be still oh my soul
try to see what He’s doing
listen not to the lies
hold on tight through the strife
be still oh my soul
see the joy set before us
though again and again
moves the end of the race
be still oh my soul
we may not know tomorrow
but we know Who is leading
Who’s in charge of our pace
for the joy set before Him
He walked this way also
and beckons us to
follow hard at His side
be still oh my soul
though this moment’s too much
up in heaven He’s counting
these tears that we’ve cried
❤️❤️❤️
I can see a tear in Jesus eyes as he sees your beautiful words written to share your grief but also your love of Him. His ways are not our ways and while we don't understand we can only trust in His ways.
Thank you for those words as they have deep meaning to me as well. Be still oh my soul. Love and prayers.
