Hillsong Worship's 'Be Still' is a contemporary worship song that encourages listeners to rest in God's sovereignty and trust His control over every situation. Drawing from Psalm 46:10, the lyrics call for stillness of soul and heart, letting go of fear and striving. The song emphasizes God's presence as the source of peace, silencing anxiety and reminding believers that His love and mercy follow them. It's a calming, faith-filled anthem for those facing giants or uncertainty, pointing to the alignment of faith and grace.

VERSE 1:

Be still and know

That the Lord is in control

Be still my soul

Stand and watch as giants fall


CHORUS:

I won?t be afraid You are here

You silence all my fear

I won?t be afraid

You don?t let go

Be still my heart and know

I won?t be afraid


VERSE 2:

Be still and trust

What the Lord has said is done

Find rest don?t strive

Watch as faith and grace align


BRIDGE:

Surely love and mercy

Your peace and kindness

Will follow me

Will follow me


POST CHORUS:

Your love surrounds me

Your love surrounds me here
