Be still my heart and know

Overall Meaning

The song "Be Still" by Bethel Music is a powerful message of surrender and faith. The opening lines "Be still my heart and know you are God alone" remind us to quiet our anxieties and doubts and trust in God's sovereignty. The repetition of "stop thinking so much and just let go" reinforces the idea that we often overthink situations and need to relinquish control.


The chorus highlights the aspect of God's love that is selfless and sacrificial - "you gave it all for me". It invokes a response of giving back to God from a place of gratitude and devotion. The bridge "Bless the Lord oh my soul cries out, all that is within me prays" is a clear reference to Psalm 103 and echoes the idea that all of creation is called to worship and praise God.

I think this song was written for me. I think way too much, have trouble resting and worry. God is God alone. He has won my heart and has control. He loves me and gave it all for me. What do I have to fear?

@stachiano

+Alisia Hardin: beautiful! I can relate.

The song is one of the best I have every heard! When I should have died from a motorcycle accident back 2013, I never thought I would ever be the same as I was brought back to life. This song opened my heart again and reminded me why are Lord is so GREAT! He's made me realize what is important in life, that my friends is the small things in life like being able to share my love and being able to hear the music I enjoy!!!  God is REALLY, HE lives in are life's everyday and if 'YOU' just stop and listen, You will see what I'm talking about! I'm here to tell 'YOU' He Hears You! :)

@adamland3731
