Be Still

Why are you downcast, my soul, my soul?
Why so discouraged within me?
Put all your hope in the Lord, my soul.
He'll have the glory, He'll have the victory.

And I know I yet will praise my God.
He yet will deliver me.
So do not fear, though the mountains may tremble
And the earth pass away, 
Though the mountains may fall into the sea.

Be still and know He is God, my soul.
You can depend on His sovereignty.
Just rest yourself in the Lord, my soul.
He'll be exalted through all eternity.

Be still, and know that I am God.
Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations of the earth.
I will be exalted in your life from your new birth.
Be still.
