Be Still

Be still
And rest
Take refuge
Be blessed
By the One
Who can cover you
With the hope
That brings peace
Beyond understanding
Or circumstance
Breaking through
The deep sorrow
The piercing sadness
To bring rays of light
Shining in the darkness
Illuminating life anew
Beyond the shadows
That linger
Like a dark cloud passing by
The truth remains
That this is temporary
There is far greater
Beyond comprehension
Yet the soul aches
Yearns, cries out
For healing
For strength
For freedom
Be free
Dear one
Let yourself fall
Float in the river
Of surrender
For it is letting go
Trusting in tomorrow
Finding faith in promises
And the Holy presence
That we find
The weight we carry
Isn’t our burden or pain
What we hold onto
When we let ourselves
Be held
Is the weight
The freedom
Of glory.
