Be Still
by Cody Carnes
Theology & Meaning
The song echoes the biblical call to be still and know God as sovereign and near. It strengthens trust by directing worshipers away from frantic striving and toward resting confidence in the Lord. It can be framed as faith-filled stillness, not passive avoidance.
Worship Leadership Tips
Use this after heavy prayer requests or as a reset in a busy service. Keep the instrumentation minimal and the tempo unhurried. Consider inviting the congregation to take a deep breath and pray silently for a moment before starting.
Arrangement Tips
Gentle and unhurried with minimal instrumentation. Create space for stillness and reflection. The song invites the soul to quiet down and trust God.
