02/05/2009: Rest in peace, Delara Darabi
I have just had a text with the news of Delara Darabi’s execution in Iran. Can we not all stand up to those we pay every day?! Can we not pluck the courage to ask, as a world, a global village, for a fair trial for our own people; the citizens of the world? We really are in a bleak, disgusting place. Where has our strength gone?
Be still my soul – the Lord is on thy side;
bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
leave to thy God to order and provide;
in every change – he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul – thy best thy heavenly Friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still my soul – when dearest friends depart,
and all is darkened in the vale of tears,
then shalt thou better know his love – his heart,
who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.
Be still, my soul – the waves and winds still know
his voice who ruled them – while he dwelt below.
Be still my soul the hour is hastening on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment – grief and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot – love’s purest joys restored,.
Be still my soul – when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed – we shall meet at last.
