"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)

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
