QUIET
Elevation Worship's 'Quiet (Stripped)' is a song about finding peace and rest in God's presence amid anxiety and racing thoughts. The lyrics describe a struggle with overwhelming feelings and the decision to stop striving and be still, trusting God to fight battles. The singer chooses to be quiet and let God speak through the silence, surrendering control and hiding no longer. The song emphasizes trusting God with the future and listening for His voice, letting go of distractions to focus on what is true. It connects to the biblical idea of being still and knowing God.
Here we go again, my mind racing
And I can't seem to win
All these crazy thoughts and feelings
It's like it never ends
Until Your voice, breaks through my noise
I know I'm not alone, not alone
You will fight my battles if I will just be still
Why would I keep running when You're right here?
I'll just be quiet
And let You speak through the silence
Here I am, no more hiding
You are in this moment, I won't fight it
I'll be quiet
I don't need to know what comes next
Tomorrow's in Your hands
I can trust You with my future
'Cause You're already there
I hear Your voice call me forward
And I know I'm not alone, not alone
Away with the distractions, I wanna hear what's true
The only words that matter, they come from You
I'll just be quiet
And let You speak through the silence
Here I am, no more hiding
You are in this moment, I won't fight it
I'll be quiet
I'll just be quiet
And let You speak through the silence
Here I am, no more hiding
You are in this moment, I won't fight it
I'll be quiet
Ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ah-ah-ah-ah, oh-oh-oh-oh
Quiet
God, You're here in the silence
Here I am, no more hiding
You are in this moment, I won't fight it
I'll be quiet
