Peace, Be Still

Peace, Be Still
(written by my grandmother, Belle Sandefur)

God is our refuge, our strength, our song. 
In Him we can rest all the day long.
The cares of the world soon vanish away,
For in Him there is safety in each passing day.

As a baby looks to its mother
For it's nourishment and care,

We draw strength from our Father

As we go to Him in prayer.

(This is my sister, asleep with a cookie in her mouth @ 1975.)

His Word gives us comfort
As we obey His will,

And in the quietness of our heart,
We find His "Peace, be still."

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
Psalm 107:29

And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?

Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea;
and there was a great calm.

Matthew 8:26

Dear Jesus, thank You for being our Peace. (Eph. 2:14)   Whether You speak peace to our storms or bring peace to our hearts, we are resting in the comfort of Your arms.  Empty our vessels of ourselves and fill us up with the power of Your Holy Spirit.  And there we will find Your Peace, Be Still.  In Your name we pray, Amen.

(*Thank you, Joanne @ Blessed for suggesting this song!  It is wonderful. 

Did you know that my sister's name was Sherri, with an "i" too?? 

Oh how wonderful this is. Thanks again, Joanne!)
