Crying in a corner, chaos closing in
Overtaken by the darkness my feeble light grows dim
The storms of doubt are raging
The waves of fear crash forth
I fight against the current
But my heart can take no more

Alone, and afraid, in the night I've lost my way
But in the midst of my despair,
I can hear you softly say:

Be still, my child.
Fear not for I am with you
And have been here all the while
Be still, my love
For I know the plans I have for you
To give you hope, and not to harm you
Be still and know,
I am God.

There's a fortress that surrounds me
A refuge in my mind
Layers of hurt and anger that I hide my heart behind
You stand there silently waiting as I refuse to see
That you have come to save me, that you are all I need.

I scream, and I fight.
You simply hold me while I cry
And as my defenses fall
You remind me, with a sigh:

Be still, my child.
Fear not for I am with you
And have been here all the while
Be still, my love
For I know the plans I have for you
To give you hope and not to harm you
Be still and know:
I am God.

I am God.
