How can I stay still?
How can I live as before?
How can I ignore
all the things He has said?
How can I, for whom He died
go on as though nothing's changed?
How can I stay still?
How can I not move?

How can I stay still?
How can I live for myself
when He gave Himself
for everyone in the world?
How can I, for whom He died
go on as though nothing's changed?
How can I stay still?
How can I not speak?

How can I take His grace
and hide it for myself?
It was always meant to shine -
the light of the world.
How can I think my lamp
will shine without oil?
How can I say I believe
if my faith I don't live?

How can I stay still?
How can I live as before
when Jesus is more
and has greater plans for me?
How can I, for whom He died
go on as though nothing's changed?
How can I stay still?
How can I not shine?
"In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." (James 2:17)

"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 7:21)
