Be Still - Visitor's Poem

by Taronta Hayes

In the beginning of my storm... just when I'm goin' thru
I lift my voice to Jesus and ask "What shall I do?"
See He knows my problems and He is my source
I never look for options because He's my first choice.
There is no problem too big or too small
My God is able to handle them all

When friends turn their backs and no longer care
I look around for my God and He's always there
See... I don't have to worry if He'll answer his phone
His line is always open and He is always home
He listens intently and knows just what to say
For He is the only reason that I am here today

When I have fought my hardest and can fight no more
When every window is closed and I can't see a door
My God comes in and puts me on my feet
For He is strong and I know I am weak
He knows who I am and He knows how I feel
God will fight my battles if I just be still
