Lyrics:
The Lord our God
Held the waters in the hollow of his hand
Weighed the mountains and the hills,
There is no moon, no star
No source of joy, no scar
That lies beyond
The Father's care and compassion

Our God has seen
The beginning and the end, all in between
Every option at each junction of our history
No new discovery,
No scheme of man
Can force his hand or surprise him

Be still and know the Lord your God
Be still and know the Lord your God
He will fulfil all he has planned
Nothing escapes from his command
Be still and know the Lord your God


God set us free
Fully known and fully loved to live for him
When our consciences condemn us, we will stand and sing
My God knew all my sin
When his own son
Laid down his life for my ransom

Be still and know the Lord your God
Be still and know the Lord your God
He will fulfil all he has planned
Nothing escapes from his command
Be still and know the Lord your God


As we hold fast
To the God who has revealed himself to us
We resolve with all our hearts to trust in him alone
Surrender our unknowns
And fix our eyes on his unfathomable splendour

Be still and know the Lord your God
Be still and know the Lord your God
He will fulfil all he has planned
Nothing escapes from his command
Be still and know the Lord your God

He will fulfil all he has planned
Nothing escapes from his command
Be still and know the Lord your God
