Be Still

I seek you in the thunder But you are not there I seek you in the screaming wind But you are not there I hear a quite murmur in my heart I still my mind And know that you are there In quietness and rest- MY peace I leave with you Not as the world gives- My secret is with those who know me. ©?

In the solace of a soul. It's only God that makes us whole. And when the world knocks at your door. It is God's peace we keep in store.
