I Will Be Still
This one is for the moment you stop striving and trust God to fight for you. Stillness is trust, not defeat.
About this song
I released “I Will Be Still” on June 11, 2026, as a standalone single. It does one thing. It asks you to stop striving and let God be God. Three minutes and forty-seven seconds of gospel that doesn’t build toward a big moment — it lets go of one. The stillness in this song is not emptiness. It’s what trust sounds like when it finally puts its own effort down and rests in the Lord.
Two scriptures sit close to this song. Being honest with you: the ministry hasn’t formally attached them yet — that pairing is still under review — but they carry its heart. Exodus 14:14 is the promise: the Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Psalm 46:10 is the command: “Be still, and know that I am God.” Hold them together and you see it — stillness is obedience, not passivity. Waiting on God is still doing something.
If you’re carrying a fight you can’t win by trying harder, this song is for you. And if you lead worship, its gift is restraint. It’s for the moment a room needs to exhale. It trusts silence and space as much as sound — because sometimes the most honest thing a heart can do is be still before God while everything else insists on motion.
Bringing it into worship
Use it in reflection or at communion. It settles a room; it doesn’t lift one. It lands well right after a big declarative song — the contrast carries people down into quiet. Keep the lights low and let the instruments breathe. And don’t feel like everyone has to sing. Sometimes the room just needs to listen and be still before the Lord — a held breath before the table, or before prayer.
