[Verse 1] You're teaching me, Holy Father, how to stand Over and over, your word says, "Stand," and having done all, to stand firm, stand therefore To stand is to be still To stand is not to engage, but to plant oneself in an immovable place Engaging requires my strength, where I am trying to win a battle that is not mine to fight [Chorus] But when I stand still, uniting myself with the heart of God, no evil can befall me My human instincts want to pull me to fight back, but the spirit in me tells me another way, contrary to the flesh The spirit says, "Stand," and the standing requires stillness and relinquishing my weapons for utter trust [Verse 2] And when I stop and I stand, resting in His heart, the battle is over This is how you sleep in the storm You don't fight it, you don't respond to it, you stand in it, by resting in the heart of God [Bridge] And from this place, the tempest bows down, the waves cast down their crowns All the fury and all the might that rages are silenced and in awe, vanquished at the sight of the one who has found their rest in the heart of God [Outro] It is His joy to make waves submit, to make powers marvel in silence, for nothing makes Him happier than a child finding rest in His holy heart
