Pat Barrett's song 'Be Still My Soul' is a calming worship piece that encourages listeners to rest in God's presence. The lyrics remind that everything we have comes from God, and in moments of anxiety or racing hearts, we can be still and know that He is in control. The song emphasizes surrendering cares and fears to the Prince of Peace, declaring that God Himself is our peace. It draws on the biblical idea of stillness before God, similar to Psalm 46:10, and offers comfort for those feeling overwhelmed.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

What do I have that hasn't been given

Even the breath I breathe, the mercy of heaven

All that I have is Your provision

So be still my soul

 

Be still my soul

Be still and know

Be still, let go

Be still my soul

 

I remind myself that You are not worried

Even now I sense Your presence around me

I remind myself when my heart is racing

Be still my soul

 

All my cares at Your feet

All the fears that cripple me

They bow before the Prince of Peace

You are my peace
