Be Still Awhile

BE STILL AWHILE

Lyrics and Music:

Rev. Koshin Schomberg

Be still awhile, be still and wait,

Beneath the whirl of love and hate,

Beneath the thoughts of good and ill—

Drop down beneath where all is still.

For all eternity I wait:

Come now: it never is too late.

Be still awhile; let go of fear—

Be still and know that I am here.

You wandered, lost, through catacombs

Of ignorance. How far you roamed

In search of Me. Now searching stay—

I have been with you all the way.

Be still awhile and hear My Voice;

Be still and let your heart rejoice.

Be still and listen: it is true—

Forever I am all of you.
