Lyrics

[Verse 1] Stand still with me—stand still in this place— Quiet your mind and heart—lift your eyes and look now—look for His face. Ohhhh—do you hear that sweet, sweet sound— Ohhhh—the Holy Spirit has gathered us to stand on this holy ground— For in this moment—on Him we can call—Ohhh—Will you right now—stand and worship Jesus—the one for every sin—paid it all. [Chorus] Ohhhhh—bless the name of Jesus in this place— Bless Him—for His mercy—love and grace. Bless the name of Jesus who paid that awful cost— Dying for us all on Calvary’s cross. Oh bless the name of Jesus again and again— To sing of His love—is the sweetest refrain— Let every heart and tongue proclaim Oh how marvelous and majestic—is Jesus’s name! [Verse 2] Ohhhhh—deep within my heart and soul— Jesus came in—made me again—clean and whole— Jesus did what no one else could do— When He forgave us—and died for me and you. So in this room or from mountain top— I’ll sing the cleansing story of His blood—ohhhh how precious—every drop— It washed all my sins away—made me clean— Oh bless the name of Jesus—again, again—-and again! [Chorus] Ohhhhh—bless the name of Jesus in this place— Bless Him—for His mercy—love and grace. Bless the name of Jesus who paid that awful cost— Dying for us all on Calvary’s cross. Oh bless the name of Jesus again and again— To sing of His love—is the sweetest refrain— Let every heart and tongue proclaim Oh how marvelous and majestic—is Jesus’s name! [Bridge] Jesus—Jesus—Jesus— I’m stand in Your presence—waiting and still— Lord in me—have your way—and will. Oh my Jesus—Blessed Jesus— I come now—as I am—I come and bow. Lord hear my prayer—heed my call— Ruler and Master over me and all— Ohhhh—in this place— We seek and long to see—Your face. [Final Chorus] Ohhhhh—bless the name of Jesus in this place— Bless Him—for His mercy—love and grace. Bless the name of Jesus who paid that awful cost— Dying for us all on Calvary’s cross. [Tag] Oh bless the name of Jesus again and again— Singing of Your love—is the sweetest refrain— Let every heart and tongue proclaim How marvelous and majestic—is Jesus’s name!

Stand And Worship

Read together: Psalm 46:10–11; Habakkuk 2:20; Psalm 8; Revelation 1:5–6

So much of life is noise. Our minds race, our phones buzz, our schedules crowd every moment. Even in church, we can be physically present while our thoughts are a hundred miles away. This song begins with a gentle invitation to stop: Stand still with me—stand still in this place. Quiet your mind and heart; lift your eyes and look now—look for His face.

Read Psalm 46:10–11. "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of Hosts is with us." The command to "be still" literally means to cease striving, to let go. Stillness is not doing nothing. It is turning our full attention to God.

Read Habakkuk 2:20. After a chapter describing idols that cannot speak, the prophet declares, "But the Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him." There is a holy hush that belongs in worship—not because God is distant, but because He is so present.

The first verse says the Holy Spirit has gathered us to stand on this holy ground. Worship is not something we manufacture. It begins with God drawing us. And when we come, the song asks one question: Will you right now stand and worship Jesus—the One for every sin paid it all?

The chorus is full of blessing: Bless the name of Jesus in this place… who paid that awful cost, dying for us all on Calvary's cross. And then it echoes a psalm: Oh how marvelous and majestic is Jesus' name! Read Psalm 8. "O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!" David marveled that the God who set the moon and stars in place would care for human beings. The New Testament tells us that Psalm 8 finds its fullest meaning in Jesus (Hebrews 2:6–9)—the One made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory because He suffered death for us.

The second verse turns personal. Deep within my heart and soul, Jesus came in, made me again clean and whole. And it lingers on the cross: I'll sing the cleansing story of His blood—oh, how precious every drop. Read Revelation 1:5–6. "To Him who loves us and has released us from our sins by His blood, and has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the power forever and ever." That is why we stand to worship. He loves us, He freed us, and He made us His.

The bridge moves from singing to surrender. I stand in Your presence, waiting and still. Lord, in me have Your way and will… I come now as I am; I come and bow. True worship always ends in surrender. We do not just admire Jesus. We give ourselves to Him as Ruler and Master over me and all.

If worship has become routine for you, this song invites you to slow down, quiet your heart, and really look for His face. And if you have never worshiped Jesus because you have never known Him, start by standing still and asking Him to show you who He is.

A moment to respond: Before your next worship service—or right now—take two full minutes of silence. Read Psalm 46:10 and Habakkuk 2:20. Quiet your thoughts. Then read Psalm 8:1 aloud and tell Jesus one thing you love about Him. End by surrendering one area of your life to His will.

Let's pray: Jesus, we stand still in Your presence. Quiet our racing minds and restless hearts. How majestic is Your name in all the earth! Thank You for paying it all on Calvary and washing us clean by Your precious blood. Have Your way in us. We come as we are, and we bow before You, Ruler and Master of all. Amen.

Our desire at UnrelentingJesus is that you would learn to stand still before Jesus—and discover that worship begins when we stop striving and start seeing Him.
