Analysis of Be Still
"Be still and know that I am God".
Love-- enduring,
Truth-- unchanging, overcoming,
He created me in freedom,
He upholds me in His hand,
He delivers me from evil,
ever present Spirit heals me,
everlastingly He loves me,
in His sight, I'm free and whole,
I'll be still and know
that He is God.
