Lyrics
I, I be your shelter, I be your land,
I be your ev’rything, I be your friend,
I be your water when you’re thirsty and dry.
I woke up mourning in a crowded, sick place,
Surrounded by evil, protected by grace.
There were these hands, hundreds reaching for me,
They knew exactly who and what I should be.
Each way I turned pulled me stronger than the last,
Which would I choose and how could I pass,
Then I heard whispers, be still, be still be still,
From deep inside me, be still, be still, be still,
Then I heard whispers, be still, be still, be still.
From deep inside me, be still, be still, be still,
As I gave power to the sound of my own voice,
A way broke before me, I followed my choice,
I walked along the way other lives had been,
‘Till I came to what seemed like an end.
Again then hands, there were these hands,
Reaching, beck’ning for me, there were these hands,
They knew exactly who and what I should be.
Again the whispers, be still, be still, be still,
Keeping me steady, be still, be still, be still,
Again the whispers, be still, be still, be still,
Keeping me steady, be still, be still, be still,
The way before me was mine to make,
There was no road, no path to take,
As I hacked my life through this muddy rocked way,
Others toiled beside me for a justice new day.
Still I have felt lonely most of the time,
Walking in this sweet freedom struggle of mine.
Saved by the whispers, be still, be still, be still,
Keeping me steady, be still, be still, be still,
Saved by the whispers, be still, be still, be still,
Keeping me steady, be still, be still, be still,
Yesterday I stumbled around a bend,
I saw you standing, you reached me your hand,
I’d seen you before, oh, many a time,
Why, your life had plowed the row right next to mine.
Now you make the sun rise in my sky,
You rock my cradle, honey, you make me fly,
You keep me company, now you make the sun rise in my sky,
You rock my cradle, honey, you make me flyu.
You keep me company.
I, I be your shelter, I be your land,
I be your ev’rything, I be your friend,
I be your water when you’re thirsty and dry.
