Be still now O my soul
Find rest in Jesus
Turn from distraction close the door
Wait in his holy presence
O hear him calling ‘Seek my face’
My heart replies ‘Your face I seek’
O Jesus, above all
Be the habit of my soul

I’d rather be a friend of God
Than be a slave to my desires
Than squander strength on worthless things
And fill my cup from poisoned springs
I hear you calling ‘Come away,
Rest awhile and learn of me,
And I will give you rest
I will give you rest’

I’m taking time, I’m making room
An altar in my heart, my home
I’m drinking from the deep, deep wells
And tasting bread of heaven
I’m slowing to your walking pace
The gentle rhythms of your grace
O Jesus, above all
Be the habit of my soul

So find rest O my soul
Find rest O my soul
Find rest O my soul
Find rest, O my soul
