I love this too. So much worship music sounds good & even great, but isn't very theologically aware. Way too often you find language which is just pressing in & striving for that which we already have in Christ by His indwelling presence. But our music often houses a subtle form of unbelief and false humility that keeps all the spiritual blessings Eph 1:3 says we have just out of our reach. Well done, Godfrey
LYRICS: There is no need to press in When I'm already here No point in wearing yourself out On a treadmill of prayer. Be still, Be still, Be still, Be still Just be still and know Your efforts aren't necessary My work is 'believe' Just be still and know This rest is your testimony My work you will see Be still, Be still, Be still, Be still. Living in the unforced rhythms of grace Living in the unforced rhythms of grace There is no need to draw close When you're already in No point in pushing labouring Giving birth just to wind. It's time to quit trying to please me Quit trying to please me Quit trying to please me, Stop beating yourself up. (rpt.) My heart is full of love for you!
Eight years later this song still haunts me when I feel anxious, stressed or in any way not okay. Reminding me of the actual unforced rhythm of grace.😌
I've had the great pleasure of playing with Godfrey and met Him and Jill at numerous event's. Real nice Guy always love His Worship. Always builds me up and tells me who I always was and all was need to was to stop fighting with my works.
John 8:29 "And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him." .......1 Thessalonians 4:1 1As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to PLEASE God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the LORD Jesus to DO THIS more and more. :/
Is this available to buy? I hope Godfreys music takes off as the church embraces hyper grace theology. And dumps toxic thing that the apostle calls “no gospel at all” and says to the Galatian’s “who bewitched you” there’s a lot of bewitchment in evangelical church that’s the eating from the Tree of good and evil and it’s witchcraft, that’s how serious it is.
And so we might say that we embrace Jesus as the great tree of life light and love .. as all we will ever need. Wholeness soundness and full restoration. Oneness in the LORD ! -- Yes
