Be Still

I stumbled, I cried
  there was a raging storm inside.
 And then he spoke,
   "Peace be still"
He broke the yoke and I heard him.
  "Peace be still"...and he spoke. He spoke.

 "Peace be still"
The raging storm, it yields to his will.
 His words breath life
 he said "Peace be still".

 The storm is quiet and fast asleep,
   it lies dormant beneath my feet.
 The waves were crashing,
   I was about to break.
 But he spoke "Peace be still",
 ...and thats all it did take.

Praise the Lord. These verses are Holy Words. I praise the Lord for revealing your writing to me. How much greater wisdom and revelation i find in this poem. For when the storms were raging and the disciples were troubled and woke up the Lord and He rebuked the storm and said PEACE BE STILL. So when i go through such all i have to do is call on the LORD and He shall speak. I love this write praise the Lord. Gidds.

Anyone who can quell a storm just by speaking wields immense power. You have described it well in this presentation.
