Peace, Be Still

 


The dimming of one candle,

The sparkling of another.

Winds pass,

They caress and blow.

Yet the still, soft whisper speaks to me.

 

“Peace be still,

All is well.

By My voice, all things live and move.

By My plan, all things pass away.”

 

Pain may grip the heart for a day or more.

Soon replaced with the joy of life.

 

The winds pass over the waters.

A froth or wave may crest.

Still, the Lord’s voice,

His hand upon it rests.

 

No breath, no star, no night, or day

Bursts through except as the Lord ordains.

No sun, no storm, no awakening, or sleep

Erupts from its slumber, except as the Lord speaks.

 

Nothing passes or surprises God almighty.

He gives His peace in the storm and joy for each day.

Whether the dimming flicker of one candle or the sparkling of a new,

God is with us as we embrace the passing winds,

Whether flowing rambunctious or calm with life imbued.

 

“Peace be still,

All is well.

By My voice, all things live and move.

By My plan, all things pass away.”
