CALM ME, LORD

"CALM ME, LORD" is a gentle, meditative prayer set to a soothing choral arrangement. Drawing on the biblical imagery of Christ calming the stormy seas, the piece is a quiet plea for inner stillness. The homophonic structure allows the choir to move together in soft, sustained chords, creating a sense of deep tranquility that washes over the congregation.

In the liturgy, this piece is perfectly suited for Communion or as a post-Communion reflection, moments when the church falls quiet and hearts are open to grace. The simple, repetitive nature of the lyrics—asking God to keep us from harm and let all inner tumult cease—makes it an anchor for both the singers in the loft and the faithful in the pews. It offers a brief, beautiful sanctuary of peace during the Mass.
