Be Still

2020-02-05 Hymns No comments

Like a lullaby,
this hymn calls us to
rest in
our heavenly Father’s arms.

Recording
Printed Music

When all you see is darkness,
And pain is all that’s real,
When empty words and promises
Don’t change the way you feel,

Refrain
Child, be still,
Be still,
Be still and know I am God.
Be still,
Be still,
Be still and know I am God.

When heaven doesn’t answer
Your deep and desperate prayer,
When grief for those so near and dear
Is more than you can bear,

Remember, I am always good,
Though shadows hide my face.
Don’t ever fear what lies ahead,
For all I am is grace.

Dependence

2014-02-11 Devotional No comments

My Creator,
I am completely dependent on You,
whether I recognize it or not.
You are the very breath of life within me.
Should you withdraw for a moment,
I would return to dust.
I, and everything I know,
exist only by Your love and
timeless wisdom.

Help me trust that love
in each simple concern of my daily life.
Help me rest in that timeless wisdom
instead of listening to
each tick of my own clock.

And Lord God, my Holy Father,
make me come to You more quickly,
more eager to see You and
know You and
know that I am with You,
till my every breath be
faith and
prayer and
love.

In all the beautiful glories of heaven,
You will still be the only Source.
Let me look to You now,
my Savior,
my Light of Life,
my God.

I lift up my eyes to you,
to you whose throne is in heaven.
As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God.
(Psalm 123:1-2, NIV)
