Stiller Waters

Memories of troubled, sunless days have passed over my solitary place, and with much expectancy, I predict lasting peace with stiller waters for a calmer heart full of awerness; tomorrow will not fail me, I will know a good rest never before experienced...not spoiled by uneasiness! Happy events weren't anticipated with sorrow, unhallowed and fearful they wrestled within, but my lack of understanding made me bitterly weep! O refreshing river never stop flowing, giving your stiller waters to a repenting soul being purified, forgiven, changed, uplifted, and loved by all. Lively are the lilies in that sunny field on the peaceful outskirts of town, unbosoming their loveliness without uncanniness or impurity, and their splendor is reflected in these stiller waters; take some of them and put them into a tall vase, or bring them to an altar to redeem your grace: expose your guilts and pray...belief is the source of felicity! Not repugnant anymore, but thankful and singing with a mellow tone, hearing the melodious organ so accordant and melliflous... a godless lifetime is not worth living with thoughts so spurious! Rebellion was a mere whim whose memory I will have no recollection with stiller waters soothing me and mending my once-righteous ways... only my merciful Lord can restore my faithfulness, and not let me wander alone!
