Let the storm be stilled of all its raging
so my praise might echo clearly across the water.

For God has guided me thus far;
God’s love and grace have been unfailing.
When the waves mounted impossibly,
the LORD of Life did not let me drown.
Every time the wind drove me in new directions,
the God of the sparrow did not lose track of me.

Let the storm be stilled of all its raging
so my praise might echo clearly across the water.

For God commanded the chaos to yield a harvest
and called the depths to reveal their hidden beauty.
No matter the tempest’s threats of violence,
no matter the wild spinning of the compass,
God’s Spirit whispered — “Peace, peace” —
and there was my haven, right there.

Let the storm be stilled of all its raging
so my praise might echo clearly across the water.
