Be Still My Sweet

Here's a song I wrote for Haiti (while in Haiti). It's called "Be Still My Sweet."

Here are the lyrics:

BE STILL MY SWEET

By: Justin Ahlgrim

The sun makes faces through barbed metal wires

The dust flies and dances across my feet

The rocks do do-si-do's and twirls and spirals

The light breeze softly kisses my cheek

A tremor ripples and chills down my bones

The concrete cracks in two across the street

Dreams and castles fall down on their own

And screams form a melody in Haiti

And the ground trembles and shakes our fears

As the God who sees all things falls asleep

And we cry out "Jesus, Jesus! Be near!"

And He calls, "Be calm! Be still, my sweet."

The waters crashed o'er the sails and the deck

As twelve desperate sailors gritted their teeth

How was their teacher, their Lord in a nap

While they were dying?

And the ground trembles and shakes our fears

As the God who sees all things falls asleep

And we cry out "Jesus, Jesus! Be near!"

And He calls, "Be calm! Be still, my sweet."

"Ye of little faith.

Do you know you're not alone?

Be still. Do not be afraid

For I am with you in the boat!

And the ground trembles and shakes our fears

As the God who sees all things falls asleep

And we cry out "Jesus, Jesus! Be near!"

And He calls, "Be calm! Be still, my sweet."

And He calls, "Be calm! Be still, my sweet."

And He calls, "Be calm! Be still, my sweet."
