[Verse 1] I am not asking you to leave The faith that’s carried you this far I’m only asking, for a moment Lay your burdens where they are Just become aware of breathing Like a child beneath the sky Sometimes heaven whispers softly When we stop explaining why [Pre-Chorus] The world is loud The heart grows tired But Love still waits Within the quiet [Chorus] Be still, and let the breath become a prayer Be still, Christ has always met me there Not in striving Not in proving Not in fear of being wrong Just a quiet heart Learning how to love A little more [Verse 2] In the silence I discovered Things I’d never learned to see Judgment hiding behind certainty Fear pretending it was me Then compassion found the places Where my pride had built a wall Mercy gently opened windows Love was waiting through them all [Pre-Chorus] The quieter The heart became The easier To hear His name [Chorus] Be still, and let the breath become a prayer Be still, Christ has always met me there Not in striving Not in proving Not in fear of being wrong Just a quiet heart Learning how to love A little more [Bridge] If the fruit is love Then tend the tree If the fruit is peace Then let it be If forgiveness grows If kindness stays Perhaps the Spirit Has led the way I have never found Him smaller By becoming still inside Only found His love was deeper Than my restless, anxious mind [Final Chorus] Be still, and let the breath become a prayer Be still, the Lord is always waiting there Love Him fully Love your neighbour Love yourself the way He does In the quiet Truth grows clearer One soft breath At a time
