The power of music

"Be still, my soul" is one of my favorite songs. I have always loved it and so I thought I would share it. The words get to me every time:

"Be still, my soul: The Lord is on thy side;
With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In ev'ry change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heav'nly Friend
Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul: Thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as he has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: The waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.

Be still, my soul: The hour is hast'ning on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: When change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last"

I know that Jesus Christ lives and that He can bring us peace when no one else can. He lovingly extends His hand to us to help. We have to be the ones to choose to take His hand, though. I don't think that any of us can ever truly comprehend nor fully appreciate what He did or how He did it, but I know that we can all access His love and obtain that peace if we turn to Him. This I know.
