Be still, though all the earth is shaking
Though rivers rise and flood
Though mountains turn to dust
Be still, know you are not forsaken
Your God is ever near
Oh child do not fear
Look up, behold, the Lord has heard our cry
Our help will come, the Lord of angel armies
Be still and know that the Lord is on His throne
Be still, though 'round you nations crumble
The powerful and proud
They rise and they die down
Be still, He is your help in trouble
You are His chosen child
He'll never leave your side
Look up, behold, the Lord has heard our cry
Our help will come, the Lord of angel armies
Be still and know that the Lord is on His throne
Be still, the Lord of hosts is with us
He causes wars to cease
Brings evil to its knees
Be still, He is our mighty fortress
From age to age He proves
That He will not be moved
Look up, behold, the Lord has heard our cry
Our help will come, the Lord of angel armies
Be still and know that the Lord is on His throne
Look up, behold, the Lord has heard our cry
Our help will come, the Lord of angel armies
Be still and know that the Lord is on His throne
Be still
Be still
