Be still my soul in my resting place be
Peace be still be found in my broken piece
Free peace be given today to be free
Cease be still my stormy turmoil mind cease
Sole source of life renew, refresh my soul
Calm clamor quiet voice to whispered calm
Hole inside my heart fill and make me whole
Balm bleeding blemish with sweet fragrant balm
Still whispered voice speak to my soul made still
Rest I find inside you my place of rest
Will you speak to my soul to show your will?
Blessed be your name, my resting place, be blessed
Length, depth, height, width of love I find at length
Strength today, my soul in your rest finds strength

Psalm 62:1 My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him
Psalm 62:5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
Psalm 131:2 But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
