Peace Be Still

I walked into sign choir twenty minutes late today. We have an hour long practice once a week. Oops. Little did I realize we were learning a new song today. I walked in, freaking out about being late, worrying about getting caught up, and realizing that trying to cram everything in my schedule just wasn't working. And what to my wondering should I hear? (But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer... just kidding).

Come to Me, you who are weak.
Let My strenght be yours tonight.
Come and rest, let My love be your bed
Let My heart be yours tonight.

Peace, be still, peace be still.
Please be still and know that I am God.
And know that I am God.

Come empty cup, let Me fill you up.
I'll descent on you like a dove tonight.
Lift your head, let your eyes fall into Mine.
Let your fear subside tonight.

Peace be still, peace be still.
Please be still and know that I am God.
And know that I am God.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah...

American Sign Language does not match up word for word with English. Sometimes we change the words in order to get across the general concept. This is what we basically say:

Come to Me, all My tired children.
I offer My protection and rest to you tonight.
Come to be, relax, be comforted, let Me satisfy you.
Let My heart and yours be one tonight.

Everything you're going through wipes into peace.
Your busy-ness wipes into peace.
Please, son, have peace and know that I am God.
Know that I am God.

Don't give up. I'll give you My plan.
Jesus sacrificed, and ask for peace to fall down.
Look towards Heaven, pray, be in My presence, and worship.
Let your past frustrations and being overwhelmed wash away and be forgotten.

Everything you're going through wipes into peace.
Your busy-ness wipes into peace.
Please, daughter, have peace and know that I am God.
Know that I am God.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah...
Please, children, have pleace and know that I am God.
Know that I am God.
Please, know in your heart that I am God.
Look towards heaven, worship Me, from now-on.

(or something like that... it's a lot cooler in ASL...)

Go listen to the Rush of Fools song. Eventually we'll have a choir version of the song on facebook. :-)

Peace, be still.
