IN GOD'S CARE [part 1] (Songs Based on Psalms 131 & 23)  [27th Sept.2025]

Psalm 131

Inspired by Psalm 131 from The Passion Translation

“Lord, my heart is meek before you. I don’t consider myself better than others. I’m content to not pursue matters that are over my head— such as your complex mysteries and wonders— that I’m not yet ready to understand. I am humbled and quieted in your presence. Like a contented child who rests on its mother’s lap, I’m your resting child and my soul is content in you. O people of God, your time has come to quietly trust, waiting upon the Lord now and forever.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭131‬ The Passion Translation

Elements

My Heart is not raised up (Psalm 131)

O be still be quiet my soul
Be gone you haughty eyes
I need You to live 
Not what You give
Don’t need this pride 

What do I do, when I know I’m Your child
Oh You’re everything I long for
But I forget it sometimes

When all is said and done
All the world got nothing on You

I’m letting go of these ambitions (I’m losing my life)
No I ain’t counting on emotions ('cuz You did for mine)

O be still be quiet my soul
Be gone you haughty eyes
I need You to live 
Not what You give
Don’t need this pride 

Tell me what I need to know
Tell me what I need to know
"Be still and don't let go”
"Be still and don't let go”

I’m still and now I’m home
I’m still and now I’m home
No, You won’t let me go
No, You won’t let me go
