Psalm 131: My Soul Is Still for 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time. Composed by David Haas. (c) 1985 GIA Publications.

Refrain: 
In you, O Lord, I have found my peace, I have found my peace.

1st Verse:
I was an unhappy soul in the past
And dug myself into a deep hole fast...
That would take faith in something I didn't know-about
The grace was coming when I was down-and-out...
A presence could be felt and it couldn't be ignored
My negative life sentence was about to be cut-short
Because I saw the evil and pulled the cord to get some real life-support...
Jesus came to me and I somehow knew he was always watching

The hope continues
From writing this note with open windows

Was I in a dream - because life became manageable...
And beyond - this must be the answer
So I put love into every song and mess around like an amateur dancer...
Because very few opinions only matter to me
Life gave me a platter when I decided to be free...
