The calm

Well, all the cool kids [aka my blogging friends] are doing it, so here goes: my very first vlog!

The world is still, and I'm alone

I close my eyes, and You are here

In crowded streets, in busy halls

I pause to breathe, and You are near.

In every place, in every time,

In every way, You are my guide.

I've always feared my loneliness

but now I find, in my abyss...

A quiet assurance

Your simple endurance

This peace everlasting

This calm in the eye of the storm.

On dreary nights, on sunny days,

You find me there, and take my hand.

When I collapse, You lift me up,

This love, too great to understand

~The Calm~
