+ Show full styles
V5

(INTRO) (Soft, rhythmic nylon-string guitar begins. A light shaker enters with a soft electric piano melody.) (Female voice hums a gentle melody: Mmm-mmm, mmm...) (HOOK) When the world is loud and the lights are low There’s a quiet place where my heart can go It’s not a thunder, it’s not a flame It’s just the whisper of Your name. (VERSE 1) Three in the morning, the shadows are long Tossing and turning, I don’t feel strong My mind is a river, running too fast Chasing the future, mourning the past But then comes the silence, settling in Under the noise and under the skin I hear the rhythm of Your steady hand Writing a peace I don’t have to understand. (PRE-CHORUS) (The bass guitar becomes a bit more melodic/jazzy) I’m letting go of the "what-ifs" I’m laying down all the weight The storm is still there at the window But inside, it’s never too late. (CHORUS) (Full Bossa Nova "swing" starts here) Oh, it’s a whisper of peace in the middle of the night Everything’s heavy, but Your yoke is light Like a soft summer breeze through an open door I don’t have to carry the fear anymore Just a breath, just a touch, just a holy release In the 3 AM whisper of peace. (VERSE 2) You’re the God of the stars and the God of my room You’re the light in the valley, the hope in the gloom You don’t need a stage or a crowded hall To hear when I’m barely speaking at all Just a "Help me, Father," just a "Hold me close" Is the prayer that I know You answer the most. (BRIDGE) (Music slows down, very minimalist) Be still (be still) My soul (my soul) He’s in (He’s in) Control (control) (Repeat with layered soft harmonies) Be still... my soul... (CHORUS) Oh, it’s a whisper of peace in the middle of the night Everything’s heavy, but Your yoke is light Like a soft summer breeze through an open door I don’t have to carry the fear anymore Just a breath, just a touch, just a holy release In the 3 AM whisper of peace. (OUTRO) (Soft guitar strumming fades) It’s alright now. You’re right here now. (Whispered) Peace... be still. (Final jazz chord on piano)
