The storm rages wild and fierce
The fear in me reacts
Waters beat against my chest
I feel my faith retract.
Be still, my soul, be still…
Ugly clouds form overhead
The sky becoming gray
The air turns cold and brings a chill
As anxious thoughts give way.
Be still, my soul, be still…
Lightning crashes, thunder rolls
Frightening shadows loom
Pouring rains threaten to drown
My thoughts give way to gloom.
Be still, my soul, be still….
I will not fear
For you are here
Creator of the storm
My soul can rest
Against your chest
A haven safe and warm
And in that place
Of love and grace
You hold me til it’s gone
When rain has passed
And at long last
A new and lovely dawn…
Be still, my soul, be still.
