about

I wrote this song in Assisi. I and my friend Mike Silloway had walked up the long mountain trail to the quiet, peaceful hermitage where St. Francis had prayed so long ago. Situated in the lush valley in between two mountains, we sat there on the wall overlooking the hermitage and watched the clouds gathering overhead for a storm. I was suddenly struck with a sense of great peace in that holy place, and Psalm 131 immediately came to mind. The music and lyrics came all at once here.

lyrics

As a child has rest in its mother’s arms, even so my soul Trust in the Lord, O Israel, forever more

O Lord, my heart is not proud Nor haughty my eyes I have not gone after mysteries Nor marvels that are beyond me.

Truly I have set my soul In silence, and peace. As a child has rest in its mother’s arms Even so my soul.

Like the deer that longs for running streams, my soul yearns for You My heart aflame with love for You, the living God.
