Be Still
“Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in all the earth.”
Psalm 46:10
Be still
Be still as the world spins out of control
Where stress and worries take their toll
Distractions, obsessions, years have stole
His voice beckons, “Come, be whole”
Be still, minds don’t slow down
Running faster on slippery ground
Yet it’s in the mud where I’ve finally found
Forgiveness, peace, a liberating sound
Be still, it’s not in my nature
Clashing with culture
Ashamed of failures
Trying to be my own savior
Be still, long enough to hear
The still small voice removing fear
Leaning in, He faithfully draws near
Giving peace, wiping away life’s broken tears
Be still
