JUST WISH

JUST WISH

Do not fret the days of worry
Do not count your troubles before you sleep
Do not wish for more, or wish for less
Just wish for joy and peace

BE STILL MY HEART

BE STILL MY HEART
(c)2013, Feb. Stephanie Durand


Misty eyed, it’s been a while
Since I have been encircled in your love and grace
I have not been near to you
Have not prayed and sang in your praise

Forgive me Father
for living so far away from you
Life has kept me busy and judgment
from others have distanced my heart and soul from you

Oh, how I miss our quiet moments
Moments of peace and glory and solitude,
Resting in your quietness and deep warmth
In the nest of your wings, I would sing for you
….And in the quietness, I learned to praise and hear you

Sweet beloved, my sweet beloved
From heaven, your voice rang down
Sweet beloved, sweet beloved
It is never a day to frown

In my love, you rest
In my grace, you weep,
In my arms, unseen but felt,
I am always right here near to you

Do not fret the days of worry
Do not count your troubles before you sleep
Do not wish for more, or wish for less
Just wish for joy and peace

Come back weary soul,
Come rest as you did before,
