Be Still
by Shannon Wexelberg

Album: Take Heart

It's time I pushed aside
All that crowds out my life
And leaned back into Your arms

To laugh like a child again
Throw my head back and then
Revel in all that You are

To stroll through the meadow
and pick dandelions
To splash through the puddles
That line this old road

Then lay underneath
This vast blanket of stars
Reaching for Your hand to hold
To simply be still and know

I want to love You
With all that's within me
To soar with my heart wild and free
To leap into love deeper than any ocean
and trust you're there waiting for me

To ride on Your shoulders
And not fear tomorrow
Embrace with abandon
The places we'll go
To listen for whispers straight into my heart
certain i'm never alone

To simply be still and know

To know You are God and to bask in Your peace
to dance in Your grace like the rain
to know You are God and you're fighting for me
nothing will stand in Your way

So I am laying down
Questions that haunt me now
Answers i'll just never know
Just for the chance to meet You here again
And all for the joy just to know
The God of the heavens
You formed me and made me
You water the depths of my soul
Would You keep calling me back to the shore

Oh love that will not let me go
To simply be still
To simply be still and know
