“Be Still” by Hillsong Worship offers a message of peace and trust. Written by Ben Fielding and Reuben Morgan, the song is a gentle reminder to quiet our inner anxieties and focus on God’s control.
The lyrics open with a simple but powerful instruction: “Be still and know.” This encourages the listener to pause, take a breath, and acknowledge God’s presence. The chorus builds on this idea, emphasizing that God’s presence pushes away fear. The repeated line “I won’t be afraid” serves as a calming mantra.
As the song progresses, it talks about trusting in God’s plan and finding rest in his promises. The bridge highlights the unfailing love and kindness that follow those who place their faith in God. “Be Still” concludes with a comforting image of being surrounded by God’s love.

VERSE 1:
Be still and know
That the Lord is in control
Be still my soul
Stand and watch as giants fall

I won’t be afraid You are here
You silence all my fear
I won’t be afraid
