Be still and know that He is God.

Be still and know that He is ho ly.

Be still, oh, rest less soul of mine.

Bow be fore the Prince of Peace.

and Let the (E)noise and clam or cease.

Be still and know that He is God.

Be still and know that He is faith ful.

Con sid er all that He has done;

stand in awe and be a mazed

and know that (E)He will nev er change.

Be (E)still.

(E)Be (Cmaj13)still

and (Dmaj13)know that He is God.

Be (Cmaj13)still

and (Dmaj13)know that He is God.

Be

and (Dmaj13)know that He is God.

Be still.

Be (F)speech less.

beat ing for His lit tle ones,

call ing (C#m)each of us to come.

Be (E)still.

Be (E)still.
