even in the most gut wrenching anguish

                             and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the loneliest places that no friend can fill

BE Still 

even in the chaos of change and uncertainty 

                             and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the tiniest glimpse of curious wonder

                              and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the sight of breathtaking beauty

                               and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the presence of those who have lost your trust

                              and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the funeral that doesn't feel fair

                               and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in and among the flowers that mark the grave

                                and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the reality that looks very different from the plan

                                and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still 

even in the routines that become most mundane

                                 and KNOW that I AM GOD

even in the rare moments of rest and reprieve

                                  and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the loss of another, of one who loved you well

                                   and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the flooding of memories that are all you have left

                                    and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the rain that won't relent

                                   and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still 

even in the pain in the present

                                   and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the shortness of your own breath

                                    and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still 

even in the burning heat of anger with nowhere to go

                                    and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the experience of injustice and delusion

                                    and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the heavy silence that no words can fill

                                    and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the yearning ache of longings unfulfilled

                                    and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the miracle of new life emerging from within

                                    and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the faintest glimmer of hope

                                    and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the embrace of the one who loves you intimately

                                    and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the worries and fears that can consume your being 

                                    and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the nights of restless tossing and turning

                                    and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the elusive places of peace

                                    and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still
even in the pursuit of growth, healing, and change
                                    and KNOW that I AM GOD

BE Still

even in the waiting of promises yet to be fulfilled

                                    and KNOW that I AM GOD

Be still and know that I am God.
