Story Behind The Song
Written for my church to challenge the natural misconception that when we amp up our worship, somehow it makes God more present. In reality, our worship should be amped up in response to who he is even when we're not amped up. And other times we should come to him completely stilled, in awe of who he is.
Song Description
Song of praise in recognition of God's glory, that what we do can't add to it, and what we don't do can't take away from it. He is God regardless of my actions.

Lyrics
STILL
©2003 Roger Shenk
VERSE 1:
I look across the horizon and I can see eternity in it.
I see the fields and mountains and
I see grace and great magnificence.
All Creation is witness of you.
You?re the Living God my life belongs to you
CHORUS:
I will sing of your greatness.
I will shout out your praises.
I will break the silence
Enjoying your presence
But even still, when I?m still?
You?re still God.
VERSE 2:
I look across my life and
I see your undying love for me.
I see my heights and valleys and
How you treated me so mercifully.
All Experience is witness of you.
You?re the Loving God
My love belongs to you.
BRIDGE:
The Provider, the Sustainer,
You?re the Giver of all good things.
And I?m the dependent, the sustained,
The receiver of all I need.
PRE-CHORUS:
All Existence is witness of you.
You?re the Faithful God
My faith belongs in you.
