Present in the Pause

We run like water, a river raging on Your sons and daughters, Oh Father good and strong Our rest, our shelter In every trial that may come Sometimes you say, "Pause" Be still and know that You are God Sometimes you say, "Slow" And we go only where You go When from our running we refrain We find Your perfect peace remains The blood of Jesus pleads my cause And You are present in the pause We work to find something that we can call our own Our worth is nothing If not in Christ alone My rest, my shelter In every trial that may come Sometimes you say, "Pause" Be still and know that You are God Sometimes you say, "Slow" And we go only where You go When from our running we refrain We find Your perfect peace remains The blood of Jesus pleads my cause And You are present in the pause You give and take away And I will bless Your name Yesterday, today, forever You will be the same Though the night is long Day will surely dawn I will trust You in the darkness Til the morning comes You give and take away And I will bless Your name Yesterday, today, forever You will be the same Though the night is long Day will surely dawn I will trust You in the darkness Sometimes you say, "Pause" Be still and know that You are God Sometimes you say, "Slow" And we go only where You go When from our running we refrain We find Your perfect peace remains The blood of Jesus pleads my cause And You are present in the pause Yesterday and today You give and take away And I will bless Your name Yesterday, today, forever You will be the same Though the night is long Day will surely dawn I will trust You in the darkness Til the morning comes You give and take away And I will bless Your name Yesterday, today, forever You will be the same Though the night is long Day will surely dawn I will trust You in the darkness Sometimes you say, "Pause" Be still and know that You are God Sometimes you say, "Slow" And we go only where You go When from our running we refrain We find Your perfect peace remains The blood of Jesus pleads my cause And You are present in the pause
