Description
I wrote this song many years ago. Robbie Hiner critiqued it, and so did Larry Petree, which resulted in re-writes, but I still didn't have a satisfactory 2nd verse. I asked my friend, the talented Dewey Howard to co-write on it and we came up with the new 2nd verse and ending.
Lyrics
JESUS STOOD STILL Vs 1 Jesus walked along, down that dusty road, as He went out to Jericho 'Round the Lord, the crowd swirled like a tempest-tossed, ahead lay suffering and the cross Bartimaeus sat by the road that day -- he was blind when Jesus passed his way Then he cried, "Son of David, please have mercy on me." Chorus Then Jesus stood still. Jesus stood still The King who came to earth a sacrifice for sin Stopped where he was and cared for him God wants to remind us: His love was revealed, when Jesus stood still Vs 2 Just like Bartimaeus I was in the dark, nothing to guide me but my heart I followed as it led me down a broken road, ‘till there was no place left to go One day the world became too much for me, that’s when I fell down on my knees And I said, “Holy Spirit, please do for me what you did, when… Repeat Chorus Tag The moment I surrendered to the Father’s will, Jesus stood still By: Russ Pruitt & Dewey Howard; ©2011 Pruitt/Howard; 2225 High St., Portsmouth, OH 45662; 740-352-5192 (cell); 740-464-7940 (cell); goodfootp@roadrunner.com; hrdeuey@juno.com
