Be still, my troubled soul, when mind takes flight,
searching so fruitlessly for His light.
Your plans you don’t make clear, as you have told,
That it is not for me to know why.
Don’t let my human mind pull me apart;
I know you’ve planned for me from the start,
Please let my heart be sure howe’er I try,
That it is not for me to know why.
Your mind so just and pure fills me with awe;
Dare I now stand before perfect law?
Justice your very self, tempered by love;
Sin you could not abide while above.
All careless deeds of mine stand out so clear;
How can a God like you hold me dear?
Someone must pay the price, my ransom give;
Only through your dear son shall we live.
Ah, now my soul is still, trusting in him;
Yes, through the paths I take till seem dim,
my heart so trusts in Him, I am now sure;
Standing before the throne I’ll be pure.
