Being Still.

It is far and few when I find a worship song that really speaks to what I am thinking/feeling at the exact moment in my life. But as I was listening to Pandora, it kinda just plopped into my khaki pantsed lap. (I made up a word, I think). Its what I have been struggling with for a while.. just being still and letting God move in the silence. My favorite lines are "Cause even stillness makes me move, Cause that's when my heart, Learns to dance with you.." man.. how beautifully right that is with my heart? I feel like I always need to be proving to God that I am acknowledging Him. Whether it is in song, art, reading His word, praying, writing, teaching others, etc. I can do that stuff pretty well. But I always struggle with listening..and just.. being.. still. SO I am excited to put this song on my blog, and if you haven't heard it yet or even if you have, let the words inspire... I am putting up the lyrics and the utube version of the song.. okay, now I am going to be silent. :)



"Still"
The more I get alone
The more I see I need to get alone more, more
Cause just when I think that I'm alone
Your Spirit calls out to me
And even silence has a song
Cause that's when You come
Sing over me
Still, let me be still
Let me be okay
With the quiet in my heart
Still, I want to be still
I'm so quick to move
Instead of listening to You
Shut my mouth
Crush my pride
Give me the tears
Of a broken life
Still
Of this world, it falls around me
And flutters all it's beauty in my eyes
But let me choose the solitude
Simplicity has always simply changed my life
Cause even stillness makes me move
Cause that's when my heart
Learns to dance with you
Still, let me be still
Let me be okay
With the quiet in my heart
Still, I want to be still
I'm so quick to move
Instead of listening to You
I'm your child
Tame my heart
Obedience
To me impart
Still
La la la la la. hold me
La la la la la, cleanse me
La la la la la, change me, oh God
Change me while I am
Still, let me be still
And know that you are God
And You're always enough
Still, I want to be still
To take all that I am
And simply lift it up
Shut my mouth
Crush my pride
Give me the tears
Of a broken life
Still... Still.. Still.. Still...
