Lyrics
Still, my soul, be still,
And do not fear
Though winds of change may rage tomorrow.
God is at your side;
No longer dread
The fires of unexpected sorrow.
God, You are my God,
And I will trust in You and not be shaken.
Lord of peace, renew
A steadfast spirit within me
To rest in You alone.
Still, my soul, be still,
Do not be moved
By lesser lights and fleeting shadows.
Hold onto His ways,
With shield of faith
Against temptations flaming arrows.
Still, my soul, be still,
Do not forsake
The Truth you learned in the beginning.
Wait upon the Lord,
And hope will rise
As stars appear when day is dimming.
A psalm-like exhortation to trust in God through difficult circumstances
I have to confess this is mainly the work of Keith & Kristyn Getty (I just helped with the shaping of some of the lyrics), and I find it a beautiful melody and a very moving lyric. It’s a song of quiet confidence, reminding ourselves to trust in Him and His unchanging truth through challenging circumstances, times of temptation, and an unknown future.
