In The Stillness (Blues for a Weary Soul)
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 10–22-2025 All Rights Reserved ©

[INTRO - Slow, heavy blues groove] (Slide guitar moaning, Hammond B3 organ swells)

[VERSE 1] This calendar's like iron chains, Wrapped around my soul, The clock don't move, just mocks my pain, Lord, where am I supposed to go?
You spoke those promises like thunder, Now they're whispers in the wind, My flesh is crying out in hunger, Where's the God I trusted in?
(Slide guitar cry)

[CHORUS 1] But I hear You in the stillness, In that low and lonesome sound, This broken heart is learning, Your glory's in the ground,
Not in the fire burning, Not the earthquake shaking me, Not in thunder's warning, Just the stillness... where You meet me.
(Organ swell)

[VERSE 2] My hands are scarred from pushing, Against these walls of stone, My feet are bleeding, Lord, from rushing, Trying to find my way back home,
I thought I had to fight the battle, Thought I had to prove my worth, But when I dropped my sword and shackles, You met me in the dirt.
(Guitar bends, crying)

[CHORUS 2 - Building intensity] Yeah, I hear You in the stillness, In that low and holy sound, This weary heart is learning, Your glory's all around,
Not in the fire burning, Not the earthquake breaking me, Not in thunder's turning, Just the stillness... You're here with me.
(Full band swell)

[BRIDGE - Powerful, building] (Half-time feel, heavy and deliberate)
Let the world rage like a river, Let the worries stack up high, I won't chase the noise no longer, I'll rest beneath Your sky,
You ain't far up in the heavens, You're closer than my breath, In this quiet, sacred moment, You're my life... You conquered death!
(Building, building)
You're in the valley with me, You're in the shadow's shade, You're in the midnight hour, When I'm broken and afraid,
You're in the tears I'm crying, You're in the prayers I pray, You're in the stillness, Lord, You never walked away!
(Explosive guitar solo - 8 bars)

[VERSE 3 - Testimony] (Stripped back to just bass and organ)
I laid my weapons down, Fell on my knees and cried, That's when Your peace came rushing in, Like a healing flood inside,
You didn't need my striving, You didn't need my plans, You just wanted this surrendered heart, Held in Your nail-scarred hands.
(Building back up)

[FINAL CHORUS - Full power, call and response] (Lead vocal with backing choir)
LEAD: I hear You in the stillness! CHOIR: In the stillness! LEAD: In that low and mighty sound! CHOIR: Mighty sound! LEAD: This ransomed heart is learning! CHOIR: Learning now! LEAD: Your glory shakes the ground!
Not in the fire burning, CHOIR: No, not there! Not the earthquake shaking me, CHOIR: Not shaking me! Not in thunder's warning, CHOIR: No, Lord! Just the stillness... You're here with me!
(Repeat with ad-libs)

[VAMP - Extended outro] (Band grooves, vocalist improvises)
You're here with me! (Yeah, yeah) In the stillness, Lord! (In the stillness) You never left me! (Never left) You're faithful, God! (So faithful)
In the waiting... (In the waiting) In the silence... (In the silence) In the darkness... (In the darkness) You are present! (You are here!)
Oh, the patient, faithful air, CHOIR: You are here! Oh, the patient, faithful air, CHOIR: You are here with me!
(Organ and guitar trade solos)
Not in the noise, Not in the rush, Not in my strength, But in Your touch!
(Building to climax)
I HEAR YOU IN THE STILLNESS! I HEAR YOU IN THE STILLNESS! I HEAR YOU IN THE STILLNESS, LORD!
YOU ARE HERE WITH ME!
(Final chord - let it ring)
[END - Spoken over fading organ]
"Be still... and know that I am God."
