stand still
Pictures of Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Father has a plan. Though it's hard to
see it now
You feel you're walking all alone.
But He is there no doubt
When the storm around you rages,
And you're tossed to and fro
When you're faced with life's decisions,
Not sure which way to go

Stand still and let God move,
Standing still is hard to do
When you feel you have reached the end,
He'll make a way for you
Stand still and let God move

When the enemy surrounds you, And the walls
are closing in
When the tide is swiftly rising, And you wonder where he's been Friend, there never was a moment, That His arms
weren't reaching out
You can rest assured and be secure, God is moving
right now

When you feel you have reached the end, He'll make a
way for you
Stand still and let God move
The answer will come, But only in His time





Stand still and let God move, Stand still and let God
move
