Lyrics
Still:
Verses 1 & 2, Hook, Bridge Written by JEREMIAH BLIGEN
Verse 3 Written by Cutright
Parts of ending taken from the Hymn “My Hope is Built on Nothing Less” Written by Edward Mote
Bridge:
You are emmanuel, elohim,
Yahweh, Jehovah,
Son of Man, Great I AM,
Almighty, Lord - Plus,
Merciful, Gracious,
faithful, our leader,
the lily of the valley,
we worship you.
JESUS!
Hook:
Whether Im riding high,
or in a valley of pain,
covered in royal garments,
or stripped until nothing else remains,
YOU ARE HOLY STILL! (YEAH,You are Holy still.)
(You are Holy still.)
See with my last breath,
as this wretched flesh decays,
my vocal chords strep,
I'd sign to proclaim,
YOU ARE HOLY STILL! (YEAH,You are Holy still.)
Verse 1:
Lifted the Curse,
cleaned the version of me trapped in hate,/
righteousness placed,
weve won, before we even run the race/
so We faint not,
grace precipitates, you reign (rain),/
I will always be an honor to lift up the name./
Worship,
as we fight to stay above this water, dive,/
into the deep, of your love, a dell (Adele),
couldnt compute your drive,/
(Rolling in the Deep is an Adele song, A Dell is a computer)
Slaughtered, totally,
you hung to save this crooked I,/
gave up the ghost,
laid hollow so love could budd inside (Budden)/
why? Romans 5:9.
to keep us safe from fire,/
to marshall this broken world,
its bizarre, how your love provides/
covered my kuniving ways
transported the spirit swiftly/
now I can stand as proof and say.
you deliver the shady,/
(Slaughterhouse/Shady Records References)
You said that you would never leave us or deceive us, and you have been here every step of the way,
you said that nothing would pluck us out your hand, you love us no thing would ever separate,
up high or below, beside, you would withold, no good thing,from your flock, empower,uphold.
enlighten, make whole, engraft,us and mold, I'll cling to your truth. no matter the toll.
[Hook]
Verse 2:
Not a career,
not a job,
not a dollar,
not house,
not a fear,
not a car,
not a tugboat,
not a yacht,
Lord knows, that I love them,
but not a friend, or a kin to me,
Why?
my allegiance is sworn to your divinity.
its infantry now,
that’s why I Write these similes down,
so infants see how,
even to the old and senile
the waters flow within
oh, how I pray we see nile,
salute the 3 through action China,
we not just trying to see (c) nouns
(China is a person (Wrestler-Chyna), place (Country), and thing (Fine China)),
You said that you would interweave us and reprieve us, and your word I receive it in faith,
if we would believe, repent, you would sheen, our souls through work of the spirit and save,
my mind renewed, wing intact, soar in truth, zing the facts,
black out, never back out, act out, your word, from a packed house, to the crack house,
STILL.
threaten our lives, yet we will proclaim,
you are the creator who came.
From heaven to an earth that he made.
to me mangled and slain.
conquered hell and the grave.
to set a new world in order,
oh death where is your sting! (Wrestling references, Sting defeated the nWo)
[Hook]
Verse 3 (Cutright):
When my father passed,
When Marissa died (fiancée)
When I was recked in my lesson and couldn’t stop thinking about suicide,
When the devil attacks my mind, telling me you aren’t real,
You were holy then, you are holy still.
Ye as I walk through the valley of death,
Even though you may slay me I trust in you,
You're the reason im drawing breath,
The canvas of my lungs for you,
And though persecution is coming I lift up my head,
And look to your throne,
Like Stephen before he was rocked with stones,
Declaring you are God alone.
[Hook]
Ending:
Abba father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
My Lord even when you slay me,
Still I will shout and proclaim,
Rich in mercy and glory honor be unto your name,
Abba father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
You are Emmanuel, Elohim,
Yahweh, Jehovah,
Son of Man, Great I AM,
Almighty, Lord - Plus,
Merciful, Gracious,
faithful, our leader,
the lily of the valley,
we worship you.
JESUS!
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
