Be Still and Know
Be Still and Know: Finding Peace in the Midst of Chaos
Lyrics
There is a river who streams make glad the city of God
There is a river whose streams bring joy to the city of God
The Holy house of the most high.
Refers to the Holy dwelling place of the most high God
God is in the midst of her, and she shall not be moved
God is present in the midst of the city, providing stability
God will help her when the morning dawns
God's assistance is promised with the arrival of each new day
God will help her when the morning dawns
-Come behold the works of the Lord
Encouragement to witness the deeds of the Lord, acknowledging His role in bringing new life and peace
He has breathed a new life in us
-He makes the war cease to the ends of earth
-Therefore we will not fear
-Be still and know I'm God
Direct instruction to "Be still and know I'm God," suggesting trust and reliance on God's sovereignty
God is our refuge and our strength. He helps us when we are far away.
God is described as a refuge and strength, offering help even when we feel distant
We serve the Great I Am, and He makes mountains move.
Declaration of service to the Almighty, who has the power to move mountains
God will help her when the morning dawns
Repetition of the assurance of God's help in the morning
God will help her when the morning dawns
-Come behold the works of the Lord
Encouragement to witness the works of the Lord and a reminder not to fear, emphasizing the command to "Be still and know"
He has breathed a new life in us

-The Nations rage
Description of turmoil in nations and kingdoms, countered by God's powerful voice that brings calm
The kingdoms totter
-He utters His voice and the Earth melts.
-Come behold the works of the Lord

He has breathed a new life in us
-He makes the war cease to the ends of earth
-Therefore we will not fear
-Be still and know
-Come behold the works of the Lord
Final repetition of witnessing God's works, receiving new life, and experiencing the cessation of war, leading to a reaffirmation of not fearing and being still before God
