I've had a lot going on in my mind lately. Then, as has happened several times in my life before, peace came when I remembered the lyrics to the hymn Be Still My Soul. My favorite version is by Sheryl Crow, but I think you'll like this version as well....
Be still, my soul: The Lord is on thy side;
With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In ev'ry change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heav'nly Friend
Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul: Thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as he has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: The waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.
Be still, my soul: The hour is hast'ning on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: When change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

And it makes me wonder- is he singing in a chapel? How did the video get made? Someone with a camera phone? Oh well, we all get the benefit of hearing it so I'm glad its out there.
