Be still, I am God

As I walk trough the valley of temptation and suffering

Getting caught up in those shadows of sin and death and sorrows

Beads of perspiration running down my forehead, hearing voices telling me

that I will never make it, that my life is at an end

Then I break down and I cry to you

Lord Jesus, help me see this through

I know that I'm not strong enough

to do this by myself

I'm over doing it my way.

I need you to come save the day

Father God, won't you reach down and let me place my hand in yours

I expected thunder, wished a hurricane to wipe my problems and my troubled days away

Make it quick and make it fast

But the Lord God came not in thunder, not in rain and not in hurricane

I looked, I could not find him in the noise around me

Then, out of the blue,

out of the peace

out of the quietness I hear a voice telling me

Be still, and know, I am God

Be still, I am God.

Now a major part of life is full of trials and tribulations

Bringing you down to your knees cause of the heavy weight your shoulders have to bear

Many times, I must admit that I've been in that situation, where I'm flat out on the ground

The pieces of my life are shattered everywhere

As I lay there broken I cry out, the only one who can help me now

is the one who knows I'm not strong enough, to do this by myself

I'm over doing it my way.

Lord, I need you to come save the day

Father God, won't you reach down and let me place my hand in yours

I expected thunder, wished a hurricane to wipe my problems and my troubled days away

Make it quick and make it fast

But the Lord God came not in thunder, not in rain and not in hurricane

I looked, I could not find him in the noise around me

Then, out of the blue,

out of the peace

out of the quietness I hear a voice telling me

Be still, and know, I am God

Be still, I am God.
