Know

In the rhythm of a busy day, I forget.

I forget that God is omnipotent. I forget that God is sovereign. I forget that my thoughts are not His thoughts. I forget that His ways are higher than our ways. I forget to quiet my heart. I forget to listen.

But then it is a song like this that makes me pause, refocus and know that He is God.

Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know that He is holy
Be still oh restless soul of mine
Bow before the prince of Peace
Let the noise and clamor cease
Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know that He is faithful
Consider all that He has done
Stand in awe and be amazed
And know that He will never change
Be still
Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know that He is God
Be still
Be speechless
Be still and know that He is God
Be still and know He is our Father
Come rest your head upon His breast
Listen to the rhythm of
His unfailing heart of love
Beating for His little ones
Calling each of us to come
Be still
Be still
- Stephen Curtis Chapman
