Still Enough to Hear You

Intro — sparse piano, distant ambient guitar]

Mmm…

I’ve been running so long

I forgot what quiet sounds like.

So here I am…

No answers.

No hiding.

Just You.

I’ve been carrying tomorrow

Like it’s mine to understand,

Holding tightly to the pieces

I was never meant to have.

Every question needs an answer,

Every road a place to go,

But You meet me in the silence

And remind me I can let it go.

So I lay down all the noise,

Every worry, every choice.

I don’t need to know the way

If I can hear You say…

Be still, my soul,

You don’t have to run anymore.

Let the waves roll,

You already know who holds the shore.

When my heart gets tired,

When my faith gets worn,

I’ll sit here in the quiet

Till the peace comes with the dawn.

I don’t need all the answers,

I just need to know You’re near.

When I finally stop the running…

You’re still enough to hear.

There were nights I thought Your silence

Meant that You had gone away,

But maybe You were teaching me

That love doesn’t have to shout my name.

Maybe faith is not the thunder,

Maybe hope is something small,

Like a whisper in the darkness saying,

“I am with you through it all.”

So I loosen up my hands,

Give You everything I planned.

I don’t need to see the end

To trust You here again.

Be still, my soul,

You don’t have to run anymore.

Let the waves roll,

You already know who holds the shore.

When my heart gets tired,

When my faith gets worn,

I’ll sit here in the quiet

Till the peace comes with the dawn.

I don’t need all the answers,

I just need to know You’re near.

When I finally stop the running…

You’re still enough to hear.

No mountain moving…

No ocean parting…

No lightning falling from the sky.

Just this moment…

Just Your presence…

And somehow that is more than enough tonight.

So take the fear I’ve been holding,

Take the weight I’ve made my own.

If Your presence is my shelter,

Then I’m already home.

Already home…

Already held…

Already known…

Already loved…

Be still, my soul,

There is nothing left to prove.

Let the world roll,

There is peace here in this room.

When tomorrow finds me,

Whatever morning brings,

I’ll remember in the silence

I don’t have to fear a thing.

I don’t need all the answers,

I don’t need the road made clear.

I just need to stop and listen…

Because You

are already

here.

So I’ll be still…

I’ll be still…

Not because the storm is over…

But because

You’re here.
