Be Still

You face every day

In your own special way

You’ve been shamed

You’ve been defamed

You’ve been scorned

Had your heart torn

You’ve searched for a space

To run your race

Not knowing where you’d land

While searching for a helping hand

You’ve fallen far

You’ve forgotten who you are

You’ve longed for peace

Your heart won’t release

You’ve grappled with doubt

That things would work out

You’ve gotten turned around

While searching for solid ground

You’ve searched for a home

Where your soul can roam

While trying to smile

Even laugh a little while

Be still

God has good things for you

He’ll carry you through

You’ve searched you soul

For what will make you whole

You’ve looked ahead

With a lot of dread

Wondering if what you see

Is truly meant to be

You’ve longed for the word

You’ve always heard

You’ve searched for purpose

Until it rose to the surface

You’ve counted things

Wondered what life brings

You’ve looked at every cloud

You’ve tried to stand proud

You’ve tried to dream

Strange though it may seem

You’ve longed to dance

Whenever you get a chance

Be still

God has good things for you

He’ll carry you through
