Be Still
Help to lift me up again
When I am falling down,
When I head off another way
Gently turn me 'round.
Help me to be near you
Every single day,
Put your praise upon my lips
When things don't go my way.
When I am sinking in despair
Help me find your hand,
And lift me high over rocky ground
Carry me through the sand.
But sometimes when it's not your will
To smooth a path for me,
And it seems I must face my troubles alone,
Help me Lord to see
How small my troubles are compared
To others who live this day.
At least I know that you, my Lord
Are only a prayer away.
And sometimes when I stray and try
To face the world alone,
And I can't cope without you, but
My feet just want to roam,
And I can't see or hear you
Because I'm deaf and blind,
"Be still and know that I am God"
Echoes through my mind.
The earplugs disappear,
The blindfold does the same.
My soul is filled with joyful noise
And I praise your name.
