Rev. Lawrence Roberts - Peace Be Still

coming let's go back on a journey the year was 1963 the place was nutley new jersey in the first baptist church where i pastored and gathered there that evening was james cleveland the angelic choir and i recall going to the pulpit and giving the folks a little spiritual advice before we sing i said when you get home get your bible read mark the fourth chapter starting at the 37th verse going down to the 41st verse and in the context of these verses you will find a story of jesus and his disciples as they commanded a boat and went out on the sea of galilee jesus got tired and went down in the hindu part of the ship and went to sleep but while jesus slept the cosmic phenomenals of the world broke loose the sky got as black as a thousand midnights down in a cypress swamp the thunders rolled across the heavens the lightning wrote her zig zag name on the bosom of the clouds and the waters tossed and turned that little ship and these men who thought they knew so much about the sea decided we better go get jesus and they went down and they shook jesus and jesus got up came up stood on the ship looked around and chastised them first by saying oh ye of little faith what are you so concerned about and he raised his hand and said three words peace be still the sun yeah came out the clouds dissipated the thunder hushed its voice the winds went back in his chambers and slammed the doors the waters laid down like a baby and said we're gonna hold you so you don't rock no more aren't we like that as long as we think we can handle our ship we don't call on jesus but when they're going get rough when things get tough we call on jesus and when they woke him up somebody said reverend roberts what did they say this is what they said these are the words when they woke my savior they said this what mastered the sky is all listen listen that how can i lie asleep oh wow somebody know what they said oh peace i'll see oh yes be yes there'll be peace on your job if you don't have peace of mind is
