Time stand still, as we see the picture
Of a man who takes what is not his
Leaving in his way a broken woman

And a man who hates enough to kill
One by one
Somehow we come to understand what that means

And in desperation's tongue
Pray thy kingdom come, pray thy will be done


Side by side we watch this picture
Even as it grows beyond the screen
Most of us in pain hurting for the victims

But for some of us its more than just a movie scene
As one by one
We become all too aware of what that truly means

And instead of taking guard we embrace the morning sun
Let thy will be done


[CHORUS]
Thy will be done in me
Thy will be done indeed

Thy will be done
But while we're here waiting
Oh let it be

And oh won't you let it begin with me
Oh lord please let it begin with me


Time stand still as we get the picture
Of a man held high upon a hill
Willing to pay though not convicted

Willing to pay for crimes not his
As one by one we all come to understand
What that really means

And pray to the son
Let thy kingdom come, let thy will be done


[CHORUS]
Thy will be done in me
Thy will be done indeed

Thy will be done
But while we're here waiting
Oh, let it be

Oh, thy will be done in me
Thy will be done indeed (let it be, let it be, let it be)
Thy will be done but while we're here waiting

Oh let it be
Oh won't you let it begin with me
Oh won't you let it begin with me

Oh won't you let it begin with me (Thy will be done)
Oh won't you let it begin with me (shower down on us a blessin) [x4]
Time stand still
