This is an oldie but a goody, and just singing it for less than 10 minutes gave me a buzz in my head. It must be exactly the song I need.
If you have some issues, lines like this can help ... "Fear not, I am with thee, peace be still, in all of life's ebb and flow." That gives me a mental shifting of sorts. Too much fear, not enough peace, but it's a promise, written by whoever the hymn writer was. I shift it to the divine, of course, since that's the context.
OK, I Googled it. The song was written by Luther B. Bridgers, and according to this website, he wrote the song after a tragic fire killed his wife and three sons. So that's worse of a problem than I have.
Here's the words:
There’s within my heart a melody
Jesus whispers sweet and low,
Fear not, I am with thee, peace, be still,
In all of life’s ebb and flow.
Refrain
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Sweetest Name I know,
Fills my every longing,
Keeps me singing as I go.
All my life was wrecked by sin and strife,
Discord filled my heart with pain,
Jesus swept across the broken strings,
Stirred the slumbering chords again.
Refrain
Feasting on the riches of His grace,
Resting ’neath His sheltering wing,
Always looking on His smiling face,
That is why I shout and sing.
Refrain
Though sometimes He leads through waters deep,
Trials fall across the way,
Though sometimes the path seems rough and steep,
See His footprints all the way.
Refrain
Soon He’s coming back to welcome me,
Far beyond the starry sky;
I shall wing my flight to worlds unknown,
I shall reign with Him on high.
