let me be ok with it... — sarah elizabeth lowe

Since our move to a new state and new town and new home...

I have experienced lots of stillness.

lots of quietness, a little bit of loneliness, some sadness.

Just adjustment at its finest I think.

adjustment to a new place,

a new home,

a new baby on the way,

new friends to be made.

toddlerhood, weaning, and pregnancy all at once.

just a whole new season for us as a family.

I've been letting it get to me and letting Satan have a foothold in the quietness.

Today I found myself in the echoey pit of it.

But tonight as my sweet little girl pointed at her "lalas"

(the little stereo in her playroom that she sings "la la" to)

I found some breakthrough in the quietness, as I turned on her worship music.

one song in particular, I know God put it there for me to hear tonight.

"Still"

by Watermark

The more I get alone

The more I see I need to get alone more, more
Cause just when I think that I'm alone
Your Spirit calls out to me
And even silence has a song
Cause that's when you come
Sing over me

Still, let me be still
Let me be OK
With the quiet in my heart
Still, I want to be still
I'm so quick to move
Instead of listening to you
Shut my mouth
Crush my pride
Give me the tears
Of a broken life,
Still

Oh this world, it falls around me
And flutters all it's beauty in my eyes
But let me choose the solitude
Simplicity has always simply changed my life
Cause even stillness makes me move
Cause that's when my heart
Learns to dance with you

Still, let me be still
Let me be OK
With the quiet in my heart
Still, I want to be still
I'm so quick to move
Instead of listening to you
I'm your child
Tame my heart
Obedience
To me impart
Still

La la la la la, Hold me
La la la la la, Cleanse me
La la la la la, Change me, Oh God
Change me while I am
Still, let me be still
And know that you are God
And you are always enough
Still, I want to be still
To take all that I am
And simply lift it up

Shut my mouth
Crush my pride
Give me the tears
Of a broken life,
Still.
