O Be Still Thou Soul Of Mine – Hymn Lyric
Oh, be still, thou soul of mine,
Thou art not forsaken;
Though the pow’rs of sin may rage,
Thou shalt be unshaken.
He who gave His life for thee,
Thus permits that thou should be-
For thy good, as thou shalt see-
Tempted for a season.
Be courageous, firm, and true,
When life’s battle’s waging;
Oh, be still, my soul, and rest,
When the tempest‘s raging.
He who doth our sorrows share,
In His love and tender care
Trials more than thou can bear
Will not let thee suffer.
Why should thou so fearful be,
At the tempter’s roaring?
Simply trust in God alone,
Satan’s wrath ignoring.
See God’s tenderness, and prove
With the sainted hosts above,
His unfailing, wondrous love,
Ever for thee caring.
Yes, dear Lord, I will be still,
I will trust Thee ever;
I’ll submit to all Thy will,
Cling to Thee forever.
Lord, Thou knowest what is best,
Confident in this I’ll rest,
Till I dwell with all the blest,
And with Thee in heaven.

## Embracing Stillness Amidst Lifes Tempests: A Journey of the Soul
How often have we found ourselves in the clutches of tempestuous moments? Times when the very foundations of our being feel shaken by the fierce storms of life. It is in these profoundly trying times that our spiritual journey calls us to be still, to listen, and to trust. Today, lets embark on an introspective exploration of vulnerability, trust, and acceptance, rooted deeply in our connection with the Divine.
The familiar lines, Oh, be still, thou soul of mine, Thou art not forsaken; Though the pow’rs of sin may rage, Thou shalt be unshaken, serve as a gentle reminder of the steadfast love and strength that the Divine offers us. To practice stillness in the midst of chaos is to quiet our minds and hearts, to find that serene center within where God’s voice whispers truths of unwavering support and love.
Our spiritual journey is not devoid of challenges; rather, it is shaped by them. He who gave His life for thee, Thus permits that thou should beFor thy good, as thou shalt seeTempted for a season. This invites us to see our trials not as an indication of being forsaken, but as an opportunity for growth, as a season that will pass, making way for new understanding and deeper faith. It is through these very struggles that we uncover our own strength and resilience, discovering layers of our spirit we never knew existed.
There is immense courage required to be vulnerable, to stand strong and true when lifes battles are waging. And yet, the promise is clear: Be courageous, firm, and true, When life’s battle’s waging; Oh, be still, my soul, and rest, When the tempest’s raging. Therein lies a beautiful paradox: it is only through surrender and stillness that we find our greatest strength. This quiet resilience is where we connect most deeply with the Divine, drawing upon an unshakable source of strength and love.
We are reminded that He who doth our sorrows share, In His love and tender care, Trials more than thou can bear, Will not let thee suffer. Our fears often blind us to this profound truth. We may feel overwhelmed, anxiously asking why we are burdened beyond our strength. It is here that trust becomes our anchor. Trust that the Divine, who knows us intimately and loves us completely, measures out our trials with the precision and purpose of a loving caretaker, never giving us more than we can bear.
The roar of the tempter, those insidious whispers of doubt and fear, can often feel overpowering. But, Simply trust in God alone, Satan’s wrath ignoring. See God’s tenderness, and prove With the sainted hosts above, His unfailing, wondrous love, Ever for thee caring. In moments of such noise, we must find the calm assuredness that comes from our faith. It is in these moments of stillness that we truly feel the tender care of the Divine, affirming our belief in the unfailing, encompassing love that supports and guides us.
Our response to this divine assurance is a heartfelt declaration of trust: Yes, dear Lord, I will be still, I will trust Thee ever; I’ll submit to all Thy will, Cling to Thee forever. It is a submission not of defeat, but of alignment with a higher wisdom and love that sees the bigger picture, that knows what is best for our souls.
As we rest in the confidence that Lord, Thou knowest what is best, Confident in this I’ll rest, Till I dwell with all the blest, And with Thee in heaven, we are invited to let go of our fears, to release our worries, and to embrace a profound stillness that nourishes our spirit. It is in this stillness that we find our truest selves, our deepest connection to the Divine, and a love so encompassing that it transforms every aspect of our being.
Let us journey together, embracing the stillness amidst our personal tempests, trusting in the unfailing love of the Divine, and discovering within us a strength and peace that can carry us through all of lifes storms.
