Still

Hide me now, under Your wings.
Cover me within Your mighty hand.

Chorus:
When the oceans rise
and thunders roar.
I will soar with You, above the storm
Father You are king over the flood,
I will be still and know You are God.

Find rest my soul in Christ alone,
Know his power, in quietness and trust.

(lyrics of still by reuben morgan)

Thank You, O Lord , for a lovely retreat to the Awana Genting Highlands resort with Fiona B and with You, for the refreshing cool, and the quietness and beauty of the place - such wonderful gifts from You! We walked and enjoyed the breezy air and birds' singing, sat and kept still on a bench at the golf practice place while a couple of novice golfers practised their strokes, talked and prayed when they were done and we were alone.

Then we drove back and lunched at a shop selling Nasi Dagang and East Coast cuisine: my favourite. In the car, this song by Reuben Morgan was playing. Evelyn W had led us to sing it last Sunday and it had been playing in my heart and mind since.

I've just begun John Piper's book "Desiring God" and was reading it there too.

O Lord, thank You for being You: You alone are God, and You reign over all.
