Still

The sea stands cold before me, vast and deep.

The thunder of their chariots stands so clear.

My children clutch my robe and shake with fear.

The waves mock every hope I tried to keep.

Stand still, fear not, release your trembling hand.

The battle is not yours, so do not flee.

Trust what your eyes have not yet learned to see.

Be still and watch the Lord fight where you stand.

My knees go weak, my throat is tight with prayer,

Lift my eyes though everything seems undone,

And choose to stop when every nerve says run.

Something inside me breaks and gasps for air.

For in this stillness God begins to move.

The waters part and show what faith can prove.
