Rend Collective's song 'Still Water' is a worshipful reflection on finding rest and peace in God amidst life's busyness and anxiety. The lyrics express the struggle of trying to fill one's soul with worldly pursuits, only to feel empty, and then turning to God as the source of true contentment. Drawing on imagery from nature, such as wildflowers and sparrows, the song encourages trust in God's care and surrendering worry. It acknowledges the difficulty of believing and asks for God's peace to calm inner storms, ultimately portraying God as the still water the heart longs for.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I've tried to fill my soul, believe me
But I come back feeling empty every time
All of this hustle and this striving
Give diminishing returns, I'm running dry
There's a wisdom in the wildflowers
They don't toil and they don't spin
So I won't lose my mind over
Every single little thing
You're the still water
That my heart longs for
You're the still water
That my heart longs for
When I feel the world's too heavy
When I need to find myself
You're the still water
That my heart, that my heart longs for
I'm trying so hard to believe You
You say worry won't add seconds to my life
Oh, to be anxious about nothing
Soaring like a sparrow, feather light
You're my Prince of Peace
My serenity
Calm the storm in me
