A song about stillness as real obedience. It means guarding the mouth, laying down the phone, and waiting on YAHUAH instead of feeding the heat.

Lyrics

Everybody say be still
Like stillness don't cost
Like silence ain't war
But the Book taught me different

Close the door
Bridle the mouth
Wait on YAHUAH

We The Assembly

Be still ain't a slogan
It's the mouth I lock
It's the phone face down
When the noise starts talk

Be still ain't a slogan
It's the heat I don't feed
It's me waiting on YAHUAH
While He fight what I don't see

I used to think still meant doing nothing
Whole time my chest was running and rushing
Thought if I didn't answer I lost
Thought if I didn't clap back it cost
But every quick word had a hook in it
Every hot take had flesh cooking in it
Every loud vent gave a map to my pain
Every loose thought tried to call that rain
Now I sit with the Book when the room get loud
Ask YAHUAH keep my mouth shut down
Not from fear
Not from shame
But cause flesh don't get to drive my name
I feel that fire climbing my throat
Trying to make me post
Trying to make me quote
Trying to make me say what I can't take back
Trying to make my peace leave tracks
I count my breath
Let the moment pass
Let truth stay clean
While the lie runs fast
Stillness got weight
Stillness got teeth
It keep my hands where they ought to be

Psalms chapter thirty nine verses one through two
I will keep my mouth with a bridle
I was dumb with silence
I held my peace

Genesis chapter thirty four verse five
Jacob held his peace

We The Assembly

Close that door
Don't perform that prayer
Don't give the crowd
What belongs in there
Secret place got a different sound
Low knees
Clean tears
No camera around
I don't telegraph
Where my next step go
Don't let the wrong Ruach
Study my show
I take my case
Where YAHUAH hear
Set a watch
Right here at my lips
Don't let my heart
Take wicked trips
Don't let me snack
On a dark reply
Don't let me call that wisdom
Nah

Stillness got muscle
When flesh wants stage
Stillness is trust
While I wait through rage
If I need to speak
Let it come from You
Short and clean
Weighed and true
If I need to move
Let the way be plain
Not one step led
By panic or pain

Matthew chapter six verses five through six
When thou prayest
Enter into thy closet
Pray to thy Father which is in secret

Psalms chapter one forty one verses three through four
Set a watch O YAHUAH before my mouth
Keep the door of my lips
Incline not my heart to any evil thing

We The Assembly

Be still
Don't feed it

Be still
Don't repeat it

Be still
Don't show your hand

Let YAHUAH
Make it stand

Be still
Not afraid

Be still
Not delayed

Be still
Means trust for real

When the wound still feel

Now I wait like David
Not proud
Not lost
Let the proud turn aside
I count that cost
I don't respect lies
Just cause they loud
I don't chase peace
In a crooked crowd
I waited patient
He heard my cry
Set my feet
Where the ground stay dry
Put a new song
Where the pain had been
Taught my soul
Not to rush that wind
Rest in YAHUAH
Don't fret that flame
Cease from anger
Don't borrow shame
Cause one wrong move
When the heat get high
Can make my hands
Look just like the lie
I don't wanna move
Like what hurt me
Don't wanna let strife
Convert me
Don't wanna let sorrow
Own my tone
Don't wanna let rage
Build my home
So I wait
But I ain't dead
I pray
But I ain't scared
I hold peace
Like a blade in sheath
Still breath
Clean hands
Guarded teeth
Be still ain't a slogan now
It's how I keep
From bowing down
It's how I let
The Judge stay Judge
While I keep my Ruach
Clean from mud

Be Still Ain't A Slogan

If stillness been harder than talking
Say it

Barak YAHUAH

If you learning not to feed the fire
Say it

We The Assembly

Psalms chapter forty verses one and four
I waited patiently for YAHUAH
He inclined unto me
And heard my cry
Maketh YAHUAH his trust
Respecteth not the proud
Nor such as turn aside to lies

Psalms chapter thirty seven verses seven through eight
Rest in YAHUAH
And wait patiently for Him
Cease from anger
And forsake wrath

Be still ain't a slogan
It's the mouth I lock
It's the phone face down
When the noise starts talk

Be still ain't a slogan
It's the heat I don't feed
It's me waiting on YAHUAH
While He fight what I don't see

Close the door
Guard the mouth
Hold the peace
Wait it out

Not passive
Not weak

Be still
Let YAHUAH speak

We The Assembly
