It's never too late to start again, the broken will see the light
Wherever you are, you're never too far, what's buried will come to life
It's never too late, never too late, never too late, oh-oh
You're never too far, never too far gone
Lift up your eyes, lift up your head
The story isn't over yet
Just hold on and be still and know that He is God
Open the door, let in the light
You don't have to fight this fight
Just hold on and be still and know that He is God
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Be still, be still and know
Don't give up no matter what, the storm is gonna pass
You're so much stronger than you think you are, you were built to last
Never give up, never give up, no
'Cause you're never too far, never too far gone, oh, oh-oh, oh
Lift up your eyes, lift up your head
The story isn't over yet
Just hold on and be still and know that He is God
(And know that He is God)
Open the door, let in the light
You don't have to fight this fight (You don't have to fight this fight)
Just hold on and be still and know that He is God
When you're walking through the fire and your faith is on the line
Just look a little closer
When you're falling through the night, let the spirit in you rise
Let it rise
Lift up your eyes, lift up your head
The story isn't over yet
Just hold on and be still and know that He is God
Open the door and let in the light
You don't have to fight this fight (You don't have to fight this fight)
Just hold on and be still and know that He is God
(And know that He is God)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Be still, be still and know (You don't have to fight this fight)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Be still and know
Be still, be still and know
You don't have to fight this fight
Be still and know
