Be Still and Know

Chorus 1

Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know that I am
Be still and know that I am God

Verse 1

You are the Word beyond all words, a holy mystery,
A presence in the universe that I can’t touch or see,
A force in space and time with no beginning and no end,
A spark of inspiration that I cannot comprehend.

In a world that’s so embraced by pain how can Your love be shown?
In life that’s short and fleeting, can eternity be known?
My questions have no answers for I’ve painted You too small,
So I will cease my babbling and worship You in awe.

Chorus 2

Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know that I am
Be still and know that I am God

Verse 2

Our God’s a refuge and our strength, and so we will not fear,
Though mountains shake and waters roar our God is always near,
God makes the wars to cease and breaks the bow, the shield, the spear,
Be hold the works of God whose reign of peace will dry all tears.
You are the glints of sunlight through the amber-dappled leaves,
You are the hints of silence in the vows that lovers breathe,
You are the one who awes me with the love that we receive,
You are my first and dying breath, in You I will believe.

Chorus 3

Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know that I am
Be still and know that I am
Be still and know
Be still and know
Be still
