"Be Still (Live)" by Hope Worship: Stillness is a Verb


Does it feel like the world's spinning too fast, tension building up, and were waiting for chaos to errupt? That's exactly what triggered 'Be Still (Live)' by Hope Worship. The lyrics are inspired by Psalm 46:10 - "Be still, and know that I am God." 

Hope Worship - Be Still (Live)The song isn't about zoning out as a way to cope with this worldly overwhelm. It encouages us to choose to trust God as a healthier alternative to zoning out. God gives us the strength and confidence we need to face our challenges with faith and resilience. 

The song is like a prayer for peace in the middle of our storms. It encourages us to pause and breathe, and remember God's steady hand even when the world around us feels unstable. 

The lyrics reaffirm God's character: "Always by my side," "compassion and grace," "slow to anger and faithful," and "love that never fails." It emphasizes that we may worship God in all parts of our lives, any time, any place. "In the stillness I'll exalt you," "in the chaos I'll exalt you." No part of our lives is off-limits for praise. "I'll be still and know you're God." 

Hope Worship shared the following about Psalm 46:10: "these words reminded us that stillness is not about doing nothing." May this song remind you that chaos isn't the end… worship is the response. Go ahead and press play, and choose trust over striving. He is always in control, and He is with you.

(Related scripture: Psalm 46:10; Isaiah 41:13; Philippians 4:7; Exodus 14:14; Psalm 62:5-6)

Secrets Artists Should Learn About The Spotify Algorithm

Spotify's competitive edge is the amount of data it holds on listeners and the way it uses that data to increase engagement. ... Using the same underlying data and technology can provide unique insights to record labels and artists about who's listening to what and help them reach more listeners. The Spotify algorithm sets itself apart from other digital music streaming services. The algorithm is an AI system known as BaRT (an abbreviation of Ba ndits for R ecommendations as T reatments). Basically, BaRT’s job is to keep listeners listening. It does this by playing and suggesting songs it knows the user is familiar with, while dropping in some fresh tracks it thinks they might like, but most importantly, haven’t heard before. This makes sure the listener is engaged, but things never get boring. BaRT decides what to suggest to listeners by combining two concepts – Explore and Exploit. This combination is the key to the platform’s recommendation system. Exploit uses the listene...

"Coming Out Of Babylon" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade: Finding Purpose and Joy in Christ

Robert Peterson had barely dusted off his drum kit when the Lord handed him a new setlist. Robert shares: "this current round of songs being created were different - they were all his - well sort of all his." He had decided it was time to offer up his talents to the Lord. Robert writes: "I was mortified at the thought of actually giving my life to Him. I didn't want to give up who I thought I was."   "Coming Out of Babylon" is the first song coming out of this change (one that was on the shelve a while pending creation of a intro). The result is a five-minute testimony that turns a trembling surrender into a victory march. As you listen, you can feel how this slow ache of "doing what I wanted to… without a fear" transitions into the realization that "I needed You - all the way."   What I enjoy about the song is that it helps to see "leaving" as the first step that is needed to following His calling for us. The chorus emph...
