Mark 4:37-41
And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!”
In the silence of God there is great care unspoken,
For the wandering pilgrim who’s heart is now broken.
Through trial and error the storm of life rages,
while looking for solace within holy pages.
There are times when we hear Him, and times when we won’t,
Times when we trust Him, and times when we don’t.
But the times and the seasons lay still in His hand,
And the storms of life raging obey His command.
So trust in the Lord in peace or in strife,
For God in His silence is still Lord of your life.
