Peace Be Still
by The Belonging Co (Hope Darst)
Theology & Meaning
Drawing from the gospel story of Jesus calming the storm, this song affirms that Christ has authority over nature and by extension, over every chaotic circumstance we face. Fear is not from God, and His presence brings peace.
Worship Leadership Tips
This song is ideal during moments of ministry or reflection - like after a message on anxiety or in a prayer night. Start softly, maybe just piano and a single voice, to create a space of calm.
Arrangement Tips
Model the stillness: take unhurried tempos and gentle phrasing. Through the bridge ('let faith rise up'), gradually build intensity to help people move from a whisper of faith to a confident roar.
