"Still, My Soul, Be Still"
There is a health update at the end of this message. ===================================== A free piano score to today's WORSHIP QUOTE is available at http://www.gettymusic.com/still_my_soul.pdf ===================================== The Bible points us to a proper posture of worship before the Almighty. In Psalm 46:10, the psalmist sings, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Today’s WORSHIP QUOTE is a new hymn of quiet, humble, but confident access to the throne of our gracious God. This beautiful song is from AWAKEN THE DAWN, the new CD by Keith and Kristyn Getty (www.gettymusic.com). A free piano score is available at http://www.gettymusic.com/still_my_soul.pdf. STILL, MY SOUL, BE STILL Still, my soul, be still And do not fear; Though winds of change may rage tomorrow, God is at your side. No longer dread The fires of unexpected sorrow. REFRAIN God, You are my God, And I will trust in You and not be shaken. Lord of peace, renew A steadfast spirit within me To rest in You alone. Still, my soul, be still; Do not be moved By lesser lights and fleeting shadows. Hold on to His ways With shield of faith Against temptation's flaming arrows. Still, my soul, be still; Do not forsake The truth you learned in the beginning. Wait upon the Lord, And hope will rise As stars appear when day is dimming. --- Keith & Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend Copyright © 2009 Thankyou Music. From AWAKEN THE DAWN.

What a day! Yesterday (June 23rd) was my twenty-third day in the hospital. This is also the day I went home. Praise the Lord! Of course, I will continue to come back to the clinic for blood tests and various treatments, but the stem cell transplant is over and successful. Can you see why I chose today's hymn as the WQOTW? Thanks for praying for my full and permanent recovery.
