Parting Waters

Instead of writing my own post tonight, I wanted to share with you a song that’s been a huge encouragement to me this past year. I love the imagery of it all and the reminder that God is working in ways we’ll never know to answer the prayers our hearts ache to see realised. He’s not a passive God, sitting there, listening to our desperate prayers, saying ‘oh, that’s nice.’ He’s working – for us, in us, through us, around us. He knows our prayers before we pray them and is already at work to see them through. 

God is faithful. So, so faithful. He hears your prayers, he sees your heart, he wipes away your tears. He’s on your side. He’s moving mountains. I hope this song encourages you today too. (Listen to it here, or the lyrics are below)

STILL – Hillary Scott

I believe that you are God alone

But sometimes I still try to take control

Cause I get scared when I can’t see the end

And all you want from me is to let go

You’re parting waters, making a way for me

You’re moving mountains that I don’t even see

You’ve answered my prayer before I even speak

All you need for me to be is still

I bring my praise before I bring my need

Cause there’s no fear you’ve not already seen

I rest my heart on all your promises

Cause I have seen and know your faithfulness

You’re parting waters, making a way for me

You’re moving mountains that I don’t even see

You’ve answered my prayer before I even speak

All you need for me to be is still

And know that you are God

Be still and know that you, trust that you are

Parting waters

Lord, you whispered my name

You answered my prayer

You’re moving mountains

You’re parting waters, making a way for me

You’re moving mountains that I don’t even see

You’ve answered my prayer before I even speak

All you need for me to be

Is still
