Be Still

Re-post

I have nothing new to post with photography.  I haven't used my camera in at least a month.  This photo from a couple of years ago has been on my mind a lot lately.  I also came upon the song, "Be Still" by Kari Jobe. It is so simple. But, it is so beautiful to me.  It carries a message that I need to lean into time and time again.  It is soothing and as I sing it, my inward tensions uncoil and are met with tender mercies that nurture and restore. The picture-- the song-- they belong together.

...For burdens that seem too big, for worries that sneak in during the night, for thoughts that swirl too fast and too long, for decisions that demand sight beyond our scope....

"Be Still"

He is here for the broken and life to the one who is undone
He is peace to the wounded and hope for the helpless one
He is here, He is here

Be still my soul, be still
Be still my soul, be still
Wait patiently upon the Lord
Be still my soul, be still

When the waves rise against me and the wind tries to draw me away
I will stand on the mountain, safe in Your arms I will sing I will sing

Be still my soul, be still
Be still my soul, be still
Wait patiently upon the Lord
Be still my soul, be still

Be still I know He is God
He is here, He is here
Be still I know He is God
He is here, He is here

So be still my soul, be still
Be still my soul, be still
Wait patiently upon the Lord
Be still my soul, be still
Wait patiently upon the Lord
Be still my soul, be still
