I wrote the simple lyrics to this on October 7, 2017.

I reached back for it.

Be Still…My Soul

Be still, my soul, the night is long,
Your heart is tired, but you are strong.
Every tear you’ve held inside
Has been counted, none denied.
The world is loud, the answers slow,
But you’re not walking this alone.
When you don’t know which way to go,
Be still, my soul… be still and know.
Chorus
Be still, my soul, don’t be afraid,
The storm obeys the hand that made
The stars that hang above your pain.
He’s here, He sees, He knows your name.
Be still, my soul, let go, let go—
You’re held more than you know.
You’ve carried weight you never chose,
Worn down roads on wounded toes.
You prayed for strength, you begged for peace,
Wondered if the hurt would ever cease.
But even when the silence stays,
And hope feels thin from waiting days,
There’s mercy in the breaking dawn—
Hold on, my soul… hold on.
Bridge
If all you have is breath and trust,
That’s enough… that’s enough.
If all you say is “Jesus, help,”
He hears it all… He hears it all.

Outro
Be still, my soul…
You are not alone
