I don't want to be afraid
Every time I face the waves
I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to fear the storm
Just because I hear it roar
I don't want to fear the storm
I don't want to fear the storm
Peace be still
Say the word and I will
Set my feet upon the sea
Till I'm dancing in the deep
Peace be still
You are here so it is well
Even when my eyes can't see
I will trust the voice that speaks
I'm not gonna be afraid
'Cause these waves are only waves
I'm not gonna be afraid
No, I'm not gonna be afraid
And I'm not gonna fear the storm
You are greater than its roar
Oh, I'm not gonna fear the storm
No, I'm not gonna fear at all
Peace be still
Say the word and I will
Set my feet upon the sea
Till I'm dancing in the deep
Peace be still
You are here so it is well
Even when my eyes can't see
I will trust the voice that speaks
Peace, peace over me
Let faith rise up
O heart believe
Let faith rise up in me
Let faith rise up
O heart believe
Let faith rise up in me
Let faith rise up
O heart believe
Let faith rise up in me
Let faith rise up
O heart believe
Let faith rise up in me
Peace be still
Say the word and I will
Set my feet upon the sea
Till I'm dancing in the deep
Peace be still
You are here so it is well
Even when my eyes can't see
I will trust the voice that speaks
Peace, peace over me
Peace, peace over me
Peace over me
You speak peace
You speak peace
Over me
You speak peace
You speak peace
You speak peace
"Peace Be Still" by Hope Darst is a powerful worship song that resonates with believers who are facing challenges and storms in their lives. The lyrics speak of finding peace and trust in God, even in the midst of turmoil and uncertainty. The song encourages listeners to let go of fear and anxiety and place their faith in the voice that speaks peace.
The inspiration behind the song comes from the story in the Bible where Jesus calms the stormy sea. In Mark 4:35-41, Jesus and his disciples were crossing the sea when a furious storm arose. The disciples were terrified and thought they would perish, but Jesus, who was asleep in the boat, woke up and spoke to the storm, saying "Peace, be still!" Immediately, the wind and waves obeyed him, and there was a great calm.
This story is a powerful reminder of God's authority and control over the storms of life. It shows that even when we are faced with overwhelming circumstances, we can find peace and security in God's presence. The song captures this message beautifully, with lyrics such as "Peace be still, say the word and I will, set my feet upon the sea, till I'm dancing in the deep."
The repetition of the phrase "Peace be still" throughout the song serves as a declaration of faith and a reminder of God's power to bring calmness to any storm we face. It encourages listeners to trust in God's sovereignty and to let go of their fears and anxieties.
Another scripture verse that relates to the theme of the song is Isaiah 26:3, which says, "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you." This verse speaks of the peace that comes from trusting in God wholeheartedly. It reminds us that when our focus and trust are solely on God, He will grant us a deep and abiding peace that surpasses all understanding.
The song also highlights the importance of faith in the midst of trials. In the bridge of the song, the lyrics say, "Let faith rise up, oh heart believe, let faith rise up in me." This echoes the biblical teaching in Hebrews 11:1 that says, "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." It encourages listeners to have faith in God's promises and to believe that He is able to calm the storms in their lives.
Overall, "Peace Be Still" by Hope Darst is a song that speaks to the hearts of believers who are longing for peace in the midst of life's storms. It reminds us to trust in God's power and authority, and to find our peace in His presence.
