Story behind the song
This song is a loose paraphrase of 1 Kings 19 where God speaks to Elijah in a still small voice. Sometimes we get so caught up in wanting signs or big heavenly proclamations that we forget to just be still and listen for God's still small voice in prayer.
Lyrics
JUST BE STILL
Words and Music by: Eric J. Hollingsworth
INTRO: Amaj7, Dmaj7, Amaj7, Dmaj7, Amaj7, Dmaj7, Amaj7, Dmaj7
VERSE 1:
A E/A
The moon was shining down on me
Dsus2 E Amaj7, Dmaj7, Amaj7, Dmaj7
Like a Cheshire cat grinning from ear to ear
A E/A
The stars were twinkling brightly
Dsus2 E Amaj7, Dmaj7, Amaj7, Dmaj7
Like the eyes of an angel telling me that there’s nothing to fear
PRECHORUS:
A E
Then after the wind I hear that still small voice
D E
Telling me that He loves me and He saved me from the void and I say
A E/A D
Here I am Lord, what is Your will?
E
And He said
CHORUS:
Dmaj Amaj/sus E
Just be still
E
I know your strength is almost gone so
Dmaj Amaj/sus E
Just be still
And come and lay your burden down and
E
Just be still
Amaj7, Dmaj7, Amaj7, Dmaj7
And know that I am God
VERSE 2:
A E/A
The leaves danced up in the trees
Dsus E Amaj7, Dmaj7, Amaj7, Dmaj7
To the rhythm of a lonely cricket’s midnight melody
A E/A
The clouds blew in as the time flew by
D E Amaj7, Dmaj7, Amaj7, Dmaj7
I watched as the lightening tried to trace a velvet sky
PRECHORUS:
A E
Then after the wind I hear that still small voice
D E
Telling me that He loves me and He saved me from the void and I say
A E/A D
Here I am Lord, what is Your will?
E
And He said
CHORUS:
Dmaj Amaj/sus E
Just be still
E
I know your strength is almost gone so
Dmaj Amaj/sus E
Just be still
And come and lay your burden down and
E
Just be still
Amaj7, Dmaj7, Amaj7, Dmaj7
And know that I am God
BRIDGE:
D
He said, My yoke is easy and
A C#7
My burden is light
D A
So come to Me and let Me
C#m7 Bsus A F#m E
Make everything alright, tonight
CHORUS:
Dmaj Amaj/sus E
Just be still
E
I know your strength is almost gone so
Dmaj Amaj/sus E
Just be still
And come and lay your burden down and
E
Just be still
E
And know that I AM
Dmaj Amaj/sus E
Just be still
E
I know your strength is almost gone so
Dmaj Amaj/sus E
Just be still
And come and lay your burden down and
E
Just be still
Amaj7, Dmaj7, Amaj7, Dmaj7, Amaj7, Dmaj7, Amaj7, Dmaj7
And know that I am God
