Lead Sheet: Calm My Soul

 Calm My Soul - Song History

WORDS & MUSIC

Dennis Jernigan

May 11, 2020

 

During this period of my life I am battling Parkinson’s Disease. It is not easy to say the least. There are days when I fight for my thoughts. There are days of great physical suffering. There are days when I feel very alone. There are many sleepless nights. To be honest, it is quite difficult to NOT focus on myself or my pain…but that does not negate my ability to choose how I will respond to this disease or how I will respond to my God…or how I will live my life. I choose to not allow Parkinson’s to define me. I choose to love on my family and others in spite of any suffering. I choose to exalt my God Who is Healer regardless of my physical state of being. This song came as I focused my thoughts - took my thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ - on the presence of God. He is with me no matter what. He loves me no matter what. He brings me soothing comfort and calms my soul just by His very presence in my life. May this simple expression of Who God is to me bring comfort and healing to your soul as it has done for mine.

2 Corinthians 4:7-11 NASB 

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves; 8 [we are] afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 2 Corinthians 4:7-11 NASB

 

 

 

Verse

You are my Healer 

Even when my flesh grows weak 

It is so healing 

Just to know You're here with me 

 

You are my Comfort 

Even in my suffering 

It is so comforting 

Just to know You're here with me 

 

Chorus

In Your presence 

Like a soothing springtime rain 

Drops of grace that ease my pain 

And calm my soul

 

In Your presence 

Like a warming winter's flame 

Fire of love that lights the way 

Through darkness calms my soul 

 

Calm my soul
