Hello amazing people of this community, how are we all doing?? I am @adyma and I welcome you all to Hive Openmic, week 222. According to this week's theme by one of our artists @fab-tay "Peace" will be singing a song titled "Peace be still"
The hymn was written by the African American composer and minister, Rev. J. M. Black, in 1902. It quickly gained popularity in African American churches and has since become a staple of many Christian denominations.
"Peace be still" is a popular hymn most people know and it is often sung in churches across Nigeria and around the world. The song speaks of finding peace and comfort in the midst of life's storms and troubles.
The hymn draws from biblical stories of Jesus calming the stormy seas, with the chorus repeating the phrase "Peace be still" as a reminder to trust in God and find peace in His presence. The hymn is known for its beautiful melody and uplifting lyrics, which offer hope and encouragement to those who are struggling.
Song lyrics
Master, the tempest is raging!
The billows are tossing high!
The sky is o’ershadowed with blackness,
No shelter or help is nigh;
Carest thou not that we perish?”
How canst thou lie asleep,
When each moment so madly is threat’ning
A grave in the angry deep?
Refrain:
The winds and the waves shall obey thy will:
Peace, be still.
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea
Or demons or men or whatever it be,
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean and earth and skies.
They all shall sweetly obey thy will:
Peace, be still; peace, be still.
They all shall sweetly obey thy will:
Peace, peace, be still.
