Be Still

Be Still

“Be still and know that I am God,”
The Master speaks so tenderly to His own.
“Look around you, at all of creation.
Feel my presence and know you are never alone.”

The beauty of the evening sunset,
Sinking low at end of day,
Seems to say it is time to rest.
Come spend some time with God, as your pray.

Be still and sense the flowing breeze,
The wind sweeping so gently through the trees.
You can almost feel the very breath of God.
He speaks to your heart, as your love He sees.

The birds of the air and fish of the sea
Are cared for by our Father, up above.
He provides for all living things we see.
The wonder of His presence fills the earth with His love.

Rains, from the heaven, seem to speak to creation;
Telling the earth to be fruitful and blessed.
The blooming flowers and budding trees
Show forth God’s care, after a season of rest.

Be still and sense His presence.
His love will sweep across your soul.
Our Good Shepherd designed and created this beautiful world.
He makes us a brand new creation and sheep of His fold.

No one but He could make lights of the heaven to shine.
He placed the sun and moon in the heavens, for a sign.
No one else could make Earth, Jupiter, and Mars.
Only our Lord could make and call out the beautiful stars.

The colours of the landscape, all across this earth,
Are a beauty to behold, each new day.
The golden fields of grain, swaying in the breeze,
Remind us to thank our God as we talk to Him and pray.

Be still and feel the presence of our Creator.
There is One who sits on Heaven’s throne.
Be still and know He is as close as the mention of His name.
With His Spirit in your heart, you will never be alone.
