Come closer to Me and be still
Find rest in My wings and be well
You're weary and hurt I can tell
Come closer to Me and be still
When all around you, are swords and spears and bows
I'll surround you, I've promised to fight all your foes
I've promised you'll not be alone,
I'm your strength, I'm your shield, I'm your home
When the wind blows, with voices like barbs and like thorns
Stand on Me then, I'll be your rock in the storm
A boat cannot be sailed on ones own,
I'm your anchor, your port, I'm your calm
Come closer to Me and be still
Find rest in My wings and be well
You're tired and strained I can tell
Come closer to Me and be still
If fear and doubt gnaw, and all of the world seems wrong
Through trials rise up, I promise it won't be for long
I've promised you peace in my arms
I'm your joy, I'm your hope, I'm your song
And when it's over, and there is an end to the pain
Smile free now, I've washed all your tears in the rain
My blessings are all for your gain
I'm your saviour, your love, I'm your aid
Come closer to Me and be still
Find rest in My wings and be well
You're worried and weak I can tell
Come closer to Me and be still
I've brought you out now, so you can give Me all your praise
So lift your voice up, I'll teach you to walk in My ways
Come follow Me all of your days
I'm your Father, your God, I'm Yahweh
