Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know that I am here
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still, be still, and know
When darkness comes upon you
And colors you with fear and shame
Be still and know that I'm with you
And I will say your name
If terror falls upon your bed
And sleep no longer comes
Remember all the words I said
Be still, be still, and know
And when you go through the valley
And the shadow comes down from the hill
If morning never comes to be
Be still, be still, be still
If you forget the way to go
And lose where you came from
If no one is standing beside you
Be still and know I am
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know I am
Be still and know that I am here
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still, be still, and know
When darkness comes upon you
And colors you with fear and shame
Be still and know that I'm with you
And I will say your name
If terror falls upon your bed
And sleep no longer comes
Remember all the words I said
Be still, be still, and know
And when you go through the valley
And the shadow comes down from the hill
If morning never comes to be
Be still, be still, be still
If you forget the way to go
And lose where you came from
If no one is standing beside you
Be still and know I am
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know I am

I really like they were subtle about it, and don't beat the religious overtones over your head. It's very classy writing.
Best line in my opinion:
If no one is standing beside you
Be still and know I am
I feel like it may be about death, and not being afraid of it.
"If morning never comes to be, be still, be still, be still"
First heard this on The Vampire Diaries during a death scene, that may contribute to my feeling towards it.
"When darkness comes upon you
and colors you with fear and shame
Be still and know that I am with you
And I will say your name." - Darkness is things like fear and shame in the bible. God tells us not to worry though because he is always with us. He knows our name, he knows every cell of our bodies. Be still meaning be calm or be okay because I am with you.
"If terror falls upon your bed
And sleep no longer comes
Remember all the words I said
Be still, be still, and know." - Terror is just more darkness. Hard times. Remember the words that God has said. He will always be with you.
"And when you go through the valley
and the shadow comes down from the hill
If morning never comes to be
Be still, be still, be still" - Psalm 23:4 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
"If you forget the way to go
And lose where you came from
If no one is standing beside you
Be still and know I am" God will never leave us nor forsake us even when we feel like there is nobody else. He is always there to guide and comfort us.
