“Still” is a strongly introspective and spiritually charged collaboration by Grammy-winning gospel singer Jonathan McReynolds and pastor Jamal Roberts. The overall message of the song is one of in-depth exploration of peace and rest within God’s presence in a world full of noise and chaos. Imitating the biblical command to “be still and know,” the initial single is a personal but persistent reminder that profound clarity and spiritual foundations are not in frantic motion, but in quiet of mind and faithful release. This duet beautifully combines musical craft and pastoral wisdom into a realm of peace and assurance.
Musically, the song is a soulful, acoustic ballad with a deliberate understatement. The instrumentation is minimalist with a clean arrangement making the main focus the lyrical and vocal performance. The smooth, genuine vocals by Jonathan McReynolds are perfectly balanced by the reflective mood of the song, and they convey a sense of genuine vulnerability and peaceful confidence. The contribution by Jamal Roberts adds a richness of theology, grounding the song in a message that is both musically compelling and pastorally rich. The simple and precise production allows the song’s strong message to shine through unobstructed.
The strength of “Still” lies in its ability to offer an antidote to the stresses of life today. It is a necessary spiritual anchor, calling listeners to halt, breathe, and disintegrate in a faith larger than their circumstance. The song is a necessary soundtrack for solo worship and quiet moments of reflection, reminding believers that strength is often found many times in not moving, but in remaining still. In answering this global calling to peace, McReynolds and Roberts have written a timeless piece of worship that brings listeners to a more intentional and aware relationship with their faith.

Lyrics: Still – Jonathan McReynolds, Jamal Roberts
Never
Could I imagine
A father so holy, patient, and kind
Would choose to
Stay right beside me
When He knows the shadows
That come with the light
And He sees all the things
I don’t want to be seen
And He hears every whisper
As if they were screams
And He still
He still
Loves me
Now, could you imagine
Someone as broken and wretched as me
Could be welcomed
Into His family
Given a hope and a destiny
Ooooh
And He sees where I am
And He knows where I’ve been
And He knows the whole story
From beginning to end
And He still
He still
Loves me
See He sees every flaw
And every mistake
But there’s nothing I can do
To push Him away
And He still
He still
He still
He still
He still
He still
Loves me (He still loves me)
