Be still and know
Beyond the distant shores I hear the silent cry
Of people torn apart by wars Starving children left to die
Destitute in darkening fear
Fathers pray their desperate prayers For the gods to finally hear
And send someone who really cares
Who will go where I would go?
Who will feed their hungry souls?
Chorus:
Be still and know that I am God When darkness comes in like a flood Be still and know; find rest in me The Light eternal
Child of God and child of men Will you hear me when I call Or will you close your eyes again And let my words on deaf ears fall
You are called to be like me To bring to life the barren lands Destined for eternity
So be my hope, be my hands
Will you be who I will be Will you set the captives free
