Be still, my heart,
Be at peace and rest,
For then you can hear
What is good and best.

For Jesus, sweet Jesus,
Speaks when I am still;
He reveals His wishes,
Shows me His will.



So do not let the clutter,
The clamor, the noise,
Drown out my Savior,
His precious voice.

I remove the clutter,
Cast away every fear
That only my Jesus
My heart can hear.



His whisper is lovelier
Than sweetest symphony,
His voice more beautiful
Than the sparkling sea.

His wisdom more precious
Than diamonds and gold,
His love extending
From days of old.



Yes, I silence the clamor,
The noise outside,
That I may hear my Lord
And in Him abide.

Step by step
He leads me on His way,
With His loving whispers,
With all He does say.



Yes, Jesus, sweet Jesus,
Speaks when I am still;
He reveals His wishes,
Shows me His will.

So be still, my heart,
Be at peace and rest,
Hear only sweet Jesus,
Hear only the best.

Psalm 62:5
For God alone, O my soul,
wait in silence, for my
hope is from him.
