Peace, Be Still

I'm thinking of how You saved my soul,
SOUL,
SOUL
how You made me whole,
WHOLE,
WHOLE
how You kept the anchor still
while the rudder wanted to row and row and row
The direction fading, anticipating the words that
would come out
And then the anchor kept its hold
and whispered, "Peace, be still."
How I long to know this love
that kept me still
while my mouth did say
"What in the world
is going on,
going down,
but fear not,
it's not this ship
for even in the storms we know
the anchor holds it still."
Though wind and waves do tug and tug
and bid the anchor make a pace
it whispers, "Peace, be still."

"This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." Hebrews 6:19-20
