Stand Still

STAND STILL MY SOUL, FOR SO YOUR LORD COMMANDS:

Even when your way seems blocked, leave it in his wise hands;
His arm is mighty to divide the wave.
You will see how God can work the “impossible” for you.
For with a great deliverance he does save.
Be not impatient, but in stillness stand,
Even when surrounded on every hand,
In ways your spirit does not comprehend.
 
God cannot clear your way till you are still,
That he may work in you his blessed will,
and all your heart and will to him do bend.
Be still, for just when you are still can God
Reveal himself to you. Until through you
His love and light and life can freely flow.
 
In stillness God can work through you and
reach the souls around you. He then through
you can teach his lesson, and his power in
weakness show.
 
Be still and know the Father does know
best the way to lead his child to that fair land,
where longing souls are satisfied, and know
their God, and praise for all that he has planned.
