Still ...

A couple of years ago, one Sunday, I walked into church only because it was the traditional thing to do. Having lost almost complete control of and watching my singular universe crash around me I sat at the back of the assembly hoping that I could escape from the realities of the mess as I was in for at least an hour or two.

I had arrived late into the middle of worship which Janine Price ever so capably led. Merely following her through the motions I lazily sang along until she began a song I had never heard before. The words to this song were pretty much all I had to say in prayer. It was the conversation I needed to have with God - I was spent from giving every bit I had in me in this fight. I think I may have whispered and sang the song on that morning and God did hear me ... He gave me with peace for the rest of the journey (another story for another day) in that very moment.

The lyrics are shared below ... I hope at least one of you finds blessing in them.

Lyrics - Still

Still

Words and Music by Reuben Morgan

Verse 1:

Hide me now

Under your wings

Cover me

within your mighty hand

Chorus:

When the oceans rise and thunders roar

I will soar with you above the storm

Father you are king over the flood

I will be still and know you are God

Verse 2:

Find rest my soul

In Christ alone

Know his power

In quietness and trust
