Aaron Shust's song is a gentle call to stillness and trust in God. Drawing from Psalm 46:10 and Psalm 42, it encourages listeners to cease striving, release fear, and wait patiently for the Lord. The lyrics repeat phrases like 'Be still and know that He is God' and 'My soul longs for You,' creating a meditative atmosphere. The song emphasizes resting in God's presence and depending on Him rather than being anxious. It offers comfort to those feeling overwhelmed or fearful, pointing them to quiet confidence in God's sovereignty and care.

Take heed and be quiet

Don't fear or be faint

Be still and know that He is God

We will rest in the Lord

Rest in the Lord

And wait patiently

Wait patiently

We will rest in the Lord

Rest in the Lord

And wait patiently

Wait patiently for Him

Take heed and be quiet

Don't fear or be faint

Be still and know that He is God

We will rest in the Lord

Rest in the Lord

And wait patiently

Wait patiently

We will rest in the Lord

Rest in the Lord

And wait patiently

Wait patiently for Him

Like the deer pants after the water

My soul longs for You

Like the deer pants after the water

My soul longs for You

We will rest in the Lord

Rest in the Lord

And wait patiently

Wait patiently

We will rest in the Lord

Rest in the Lord

And wait patiently

Wait patiently

We will rest in the Lord

Rest in the Lord

And wait patiently

Wait patiently for Him
