(Heavy, distorted guitar riff opens)
Verse 1
When the fault lines open wide, and the ground gives way beneath
When the concrete cracks and swallows every promise we believe
The sea is spitting fury now, the mountains turn to dust
But there's a current underneath, a quiet, stubborn trust
Yeah, the world is on a tremor, a universal shake
But there’s a fortress on a hill, a stand we have to take.
Chorus
You are the strength, the shelter in the flood
A fire in the chaos, misunderstood
Let the kingdoms crumble, let the oceans foam
I will not be moved, I will not fear the unknown.
Be still, and know the gravity will fail.
Be still, and know that one truth will prevail.
Verse 2
I see the nations gathering, the frantic, desperate call
Their systems built on quicksand are waiting for the fall
The thunder breaks the silence, a voice inside the sound
And everything that's temporary is melting to the ground.
We saw the glorious wreckage, the way the structures bend
He breaks the bow and snaps the spear, brings every war to an end.
Chorus
You are the strength, the shelter in the flood
A fire in the chaos, misunderstood
Let the kingdoms crumble, let the oceans foam
I will not be moved, I will not fear the unknown.
Be still, and know the gravity will fail.
Be still, and know that one truth will prevail.
Bridge
There is a river running through the wreckage and the fray
A pulse beneath the pavement that washes doubt away
From the first light of the morning, 'til the dead of night is past
This city won't surrender, this fortress is built to last.
Guitar Solo (Intense, melodic, building to a crash)
Chorus
You are the strength, the shelter in the flood
A fire in the chaos, misunderstood
Let the kingdoms crumble, let the oceans foam
I will not be moved, I will not fear the unknown.
Be still, and know the gravity will fail.
Be still, and know that one truth will prevail.
Outro
Be still.
(The Lord of Heaven's Armies is here among us)
Be still.
(Our fortress.)
