Teach Me To Be Still





Teach me to be still, Lord, 
So that I always will.
Look to you first,
My prayer unrehearsed.

Teach me to be still,
So I will call your name.
Your are my first, my last.
My everything, everyday, always the same.

Teach me to be still, Lord.
Let me relax and rejoice in your quiet,
Before I panic, and melt into madness,
Let me sit before you and try it.

The world can be such a loud place,
The home should be a sanctuary.
But it is often even more chaotic,
And that could be so scary.

But you have taught me to be still.
I know you are God and you are mine,
And in the silent, secret place of amazing grace.
You whisper peace to my heart, everything is fine.
