I don't know if it's a new song but it's fairly new to me. The words "when we're desperate for our healing" that He is still God were particularly relevant to me personally. Then the verse about the government in the light of all the latest expenses scandals also struck me.
"Where oh where's Your presence, O God
In this dry and weary land?
So many people drifting away
How we need to understand:
You're still God, even when we're unbelieving;
Still God, when we're desperate for our healing;
Still God, still God, still God,
So I will be still and know you are God.
Where, oh where's your kingdom, O God?
We have let holiness go.
So many idols litter our land.
We've got to let this nation know;
You're still God, when the government have no answers,
Still God, when the media lowers the standard,
Still God, still God, still God.
You're still God, when the plans we make are worthless;
Still God, when we lose our sense of purpose;
Still God, Still God
So I wlll be still and know you are God
When will Jesus really be seen
Through the church that bears His name?
Agents of His kingdom, His peace,
In the world for which he came.
You're still God, even though You were rejected;
Still God, though you were ridiculed, deserted;
Still God, still God, still God.
You're still God, though You sufered execution,
Still God, You're alive and Christ our champion;
Still God, still God,
So I will be still and know You are God."
