Lyrics

Be still and know that I am God,
Be still and know that I am God,
Be still and know that I am God.

I am the Lord that healeth thee,
I am the Lord that healeth thee,
I am the Lord that healeth thee.

In thee O Lord, do I put my trust,
In thee O Lord, do I put my trust,
In thee O Lord, do I put my trust.
