"Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled" Whenever I am troubled and lost in deep despair I bundle all my troubles up and go to God in prayer. .. I tell Him I am heartsick and lost and lonely, too, That my mind is deeply burdened and I don't know what to do... But I know He stilled the tempest and calmed the angry sea And I humbly ask if in His love He'll do the same for me... And then !just keep quiet and think only thoughts ofpeace and ifI abide in stillness my "restless murmurings" cease. PRELUDE ........................................
