Be Calm, My Soul
Be calm, my soul, whatever circumstances betide
Know that the LORD GOD is at your side;
JESUS CHRIST is your faithful companion
In the furnace of affliction;
Your Almighty Savior goes before you
HIS DIVINE PRESENCE and HOLY SPIRIT will guide you.
Under the wings of HIS great love,
Be strong and courageous;
Focus on JESUS,look upon HIS countenance,
The power of the Resurrected LORD
Will be your encouragement and sustenance.
All you need to hear
Is HIS constant whisper:
‘Do not be afraid,I AM with you always,
You are precious to me, MY HOLY BLOOD is your ransom
I will remember your transgressions no more.'
Be calm, my soul
The Eternal GOD watches over you,
Cast your burden upon HIM,
Remembering HIS promise never to forsake you.
Be calm,though tempests flail,
YOUR LOVING SAVIOR's power will prevail
Strenghthened, your spirit will rise on eagle's wings,
And your soul will praise ALMIGHTY GOD and sing.
