Lyrics
Be still, and know that I am God:
Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen,
I will be exalted in the earth
Be still, and know,
Be still, and know that I am God.
Be still, and know that I am God:
Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen,
I will be exalted in the earth
Be still, and know,
Be still, and know that I am God.
Song History & Meaning
Composer / Hymnodist: King James Version
In a world full of noise, rushing thoughts, and constant demands, God gently invites us to quiet our hearts and take a deep breath in His presence. Resting in Him isn't about ignoring our troubles, but trusting that He is sovereign, faithful, and fully in control over every detail of our lives. When we surrender our anxiety and allow His peace to wash over us, we remember that He will be exalted above all things. Today, let go of the need to strive and simply rest in the truth of who He is.
