lyrics

I Will Be Still (Psalm 46:10 and Psalm 131)
Copyright © 2014 Becka deHaan

I don’t try to reach up ten feet high
When I’m only five feet tall;
Mysteries remain a mystery;
And I don’t mind at all.
Let the marvelous, the wonderful, keep me full of wondering;
Otherwise there’s no such thing as trust;
Some things I’m not made to understand, I have just…
Chorus: To be still, like a child with its mother;
In a great storm, off to sleep I will nod;
I will be still with a calm like no other;
I will be still, knowing you are God.
I will be still.
I will be still.

Nine years old and crawling down the stairs,
Shrieking with the smoke alarm;
Or choking on water, way out on the lake;
It feels too much like real harm.
But on our stone front porch, Mom holds me on the couch;
Now all I hear is the beating of her heart.
All fear subsides, and my body can relax its every part…
Chorus: ’Cause I’m still, as a child with her mother;
In a great storm, off to sleep I will nod;
I will be still with a calm like no other;
I will be still, knowing you are God;
I will be still.
I will be still.

How the mother hen longs to gather her chicks under her wings and away from the sword;
Throw down your armour, o Israel, put your hope, your only hope, in the Lord!
And be still…
[Interlude]
We will be still with a calm like no other;
We will be still, knowing you are God.
We will be still;
We will be still;
We will be still.
