When all is calm,
predictable,
ordered...
I can cope.
Within the limits
of my own ability
I am fulfilled.
But with the breaking
of the storm,
when I am taken
beyond my skills,
my plans,
when faced by failure,
disaster,
when confronted
by unexpected
and unwanted
outcomes...
still my heart, Lord!
Still my heart!
O to live in your peace
in good times
and in ill -
to bring
my life
and skill to you,
to know
your presence
and your peace
all day
and every day!
Still my heart, Lord!
Still my heart!
