Still

There is a particular song that I want to share with you. I'm going to read the lyrics to you first.

I want to say hat how lucky and precious and thankful that I have our God along with my personal life.

Years ago when my kids were still little, I decided to take them to some National Parks nearby, Channel Islands National Park, is on my list, it is in Southern California. 

And it is an island, therefore, we have to take a boat trip to this national park.

Unfortunate that the day I pick was not a sunny day, it was cloudy and later it rained, the wave was bigger that the captain decided that we won't be able to landing the island.

During the voyage, my older son was too sea sick and he was lying on the deck fast asleep.
My younger son sat right beside me to my left, my left arm was clinging tightly on the guardrails with my right arm holding on him.
That's when this song, still, came into my mind, I sang it over and over again until finally the sea was calm.

Later one day when I heard this song again when someone was leading worship with this song at my fellowship retreat, I was tearing uncontrollably, then I realized, God was not not surrounded us securely on that boat trip day, He was telling me, I was forgiven at that very moment when I called upon His name.
For I felt guilty and blamed myself to put my young kids in danger on that boat trip.

God is my savior, I truly hope that is yours too!

P.S. Our boat was encircled with dolphins on the boat trip back to shore.

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
Within your mighty hand
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
