song of unity today...
On Saturday night, a boy I had classes with was found deceased in his dorm room by another friend. He took his own life. When we gathered in chapel today to find out what happened, the person leading worship reminded us that our tears and grief are not separate from the Lord. And together we grieved for our different reasons. And together we stood singing this song, declaring our faith in God's love for us, especially in this time.
"Still, my soul, be still and do not fear though winds of change may rage tomorrow. God is at your side; no longer dread the fires of unexpected sorrow. God You are my God! And I will trust in You and not be shaken! Lord of peace renew a steadfast spirit within me to rest in You alone."
Such a beautifully written song that speaks amidst our darkest moments. Praying for the CIU family during this time.
