Be Still and Know
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and listen along the path that you trod.
When you speak to me, breathe–rest in my presence.
Shhh…. Don't speak, just listen in reverence.
Be still my child, I know you have much to say.
But I know your heart, as you kneel to pray.
I am not far off and beyond your reach.
I reside within and my spirit will teach.
But be still so you may hear my voice.
Be patient and strong before making a choice.
At the right time, in the right way, I will answer–
Not before and not after.
So simply be still and know: I am El Shaddai.
I am Yahweh, the great God to whom you cry.
I comfort the brokenhearted by healing them.
I guide those who seek me to turn from sin.
I change hearts but only when invited to.
I love you more than you know and patiently wait for you.
Be still, be ready. I am right where you are.
Again, my child, I remind you– I'm not very far.
I see all things– both good and bad.
I rejoice at some, and at others I'm sad.
For I long for men to choose life, not death.
I see what is and what has not happened yet.
So be still and know: I am in control.
I am the God of heaven and earth and will make all things whole.
Fret not over what you see in the world today.
For the evil one is temporarily holding the world sway.
A day is coming–it is now at hand–
When I will silence evil right where it stands.
The entire world will profess my name for all to hear.
As I remove all sin and wipe every tear.
So be still, my child until then.
Know I am watching over the how and the when.
My arm is not so short that I cannot save--
Those on the earth, and those in the grave.
