Be Still for the Presence of the Lord

"Be Still for the Presence of the Lord" is a contemporary hymn written by British songwriter David J. Evans in 1986.

[1] Evans was involved in the charismatic movement but felt that some of its worship risked treating God in a trivial fashion.

[2] Specifically, he was inspired by the phrase in the Old Testament – "then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said 'surely the Lord is in this place and I did not know it.'"

Also inspirational was Exodus 3: 1–6, where Moses met the Yahweh at the burning bush.
