Still

Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know that I am here
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still, be still, and know

When darkness comes for you
And covers you with fear and shame
Be still and know that I'm with you
And I will say your name

If terror falls upon your bed
And sleep no longer comes
Remember all the words I said
Be still, be still, and know

And when you go through the valley
And the shadow comes down from the hill
If morning never comes to be
Be still, be still, be still

If you forget the way to go
And lose where you came from
If no one is standing beside you
Be still and know I am

Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know I am


These beautiful lyrics are from The Fray's song "Be Still." When I first listened to it, I was struck by how much the words sounded like God's. Like Jesus Christ's. And I think they are. 

Whenever I need a moment of comfort or quiet strength, or merely a reminder that I am never alone, I turn to this song.

Maybe these reverent words will bring you peace, too.

  1. Lauren. I just want you to know that this was exactly what I needed today. Right now. This week. This month. In the very second that I clicked on the link. This song was what I needed. It is a very beautiful gift to be able to give that. Thank you.
