noise & clamor

Lately I've been thinking a lot of Christs church- listening to debates, church-haters, revolutionists and zealots state their case. Its all worth hearing I suppose, but my soul was overwhelmed- all the questioning, dismantling and criticism is not where I find myself in this season of life. Quite the contrary.

In the midst of that overwhelming flood, I heard this....

Steven Curtis Chapman

Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know that He is holy
Be still, O restless soul of mine
Bow before the Prince of peace
Let the noise and clamor cease
Be still

Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know that He is faithful
Consider all that he has done
Stand in awe and be amazed
And know that He will never change
Be still

Be Still, and know that He is God
Be Still, and know that He is God
Be Still, and know that He is God
Be Still; Be speechless

Be still and know that he is God
Be still and know he is our Father
Come rest your head upon his breast
Listen to the rhythm of his unfailing heart of love
Beating for His little ones
Calling each of us to come
Be still, Be still
