I don’t know where this stuff comes from, things that wander into my head and won’t leave.
On this 4th of July, I am – for some reason – recalling a meditative chant on Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God!”
Be still, and know that I am God
Be still, and know that I am
Be still, and know
Be still
Be

I hadn’t heard that before. I’ll have to remember that.

Be Still and Know is a beautiful song. When I used to play the piano for the Friendship Class at the church, it was one we would sing often.

I’m not one for group process gimmicks, but this sure quiets a room full of prisoners who have gathered for a day of prayer. Following a gong or chime of some kind … for each phrase … I slowly sing in F# monotone that phrase. After 5 to 10 seconds, another gong and another phrase. Repeating the whole sequence about three times works wonders. Stillness and safety within the group becomes very present and most helpful.
