The piece has a prayerful, contemplative feel about it and is intended to draw both performer and listener into inward reflection of what God's will is for each of us. The climax of the piece comes as the text invites us to turn our hearts over to know His will, and ends with a reverent resolve to do His will.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuitable for University and advanced High School choirs.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLet us, then, labor for an inward stillness,--\u003cbr\u003eAn inward stillness and an inward healing; \u003cbr\u003eThat perfect silence where the lips and heart\u003cbr\u003eAre still, and we no longer entertain\u003cbr\u003eOur own imperfect thoughts and vain opinions,\u003cbr\u003eBut God alone speaks in us, and we wait\u003cbr\u003eIn singleness of heart, that we may know\u003cbr\u003eHis will, and in the silence of our spirits,\u003cbr\u003eThat we may do His will, and do that only!\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lane Johnson Music","offers":[{"title":"SATB divisi, unaccompanied \/ Publisher edition","offer_id":52110636744933,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/9210\/5701\/files\/lane-real-catalog-inward-stillness.png?v=1786970341","url":"https:\/\/lanejohnsonmusic.com\/products\/inward-stillness","provider":"Lane Johnson Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
