Free yourself from all the past Let go of yesterday's pain Forgiveness is the key to peace As you release the spirit from the strain Free yourself from all the future Do not dwell on what's to be Take no thought of what's unknown For in tomorrow there is no guarantee Be still in the present Guard your mind from running wild Consider the lilies and the ravens And you will rest as God's child It is in quietness and confidence That your life will be secure And nothing will disturb the one Who makes fear and doubt obscure Faith alone pleases God Not worry or fear or doubt But wholly trusting in the one It's what the Christian life is all about Read the word and pray to Him And you will find the key To happiness and abundant life In Christ alone man's true victory Be still my child Make God your spouse Though wind and storm assail For nothing can defeat the soul Who makes his home God's house Amen |
