Still

With each step I take forward, I feel stronger. I am not foolish enough, however, to believe that I am doing it on my own. I need Him.
I continue, however, to work on being still and listening to Him.
I'm so grateful that He stays. I'm so very blessed by His presence. I want to be still.

The more I get alone
The more I see I need to get alone more, more
Cause just when I think that I'm alone
Your Spirit calls out to me

And even silence has a song
Cause that's when you come
Sing over me

Still, let me be still
Let me be OK
With the quiet in my heart
Still, I want to be still
I'm so quick to move
Instead of listening to you

Shut my mouth
Crush my pride
Give me the tears
Of a broken life,
Still

Oh this world, it falls around me
And flutters all its beauty in my eyes
But let me choose the solitude

Simplicity has always simply changed my life
And even stillness makes me move
Cause that's when my heart
Learns to dance with you

Still, let me be still
Let me be OK
With the quiet in my heart
Still, I want to be still
I'm so quick to move
Instead of listening to you

I'm your child
Tame my heart
Obedience
To me impart
Still

La la la la la, Hold me
La la la la la, Cleanse me
La la la la la, Change me, Oh God
Change me, Change me while I am
Still, let me be still
And know that you are God
And you are always enough
Still, I want to be still
To take all that I am
And simply lift it up

Shut my mouth
Crush my pride
Give me the tears
Of a broken life,
Still
Still
Still
Still
Help, Still

but will rejoice over you with singing.”

Thank you, God, for music.
