listen to the silence
listen to the silence
even when doubt and fear shout
listen to the silence
even when talking seems
the logical thing to do
"...be still before the Lord
and wait patiently
for Him..."
Psalm 37:7
silence can threaten
the mind ever planning
the heart ever anxious
the body ever ready
for in silence one is forced
to listen
to be quiet
to give up control
or the semblance thereof
when dreams appear to die
wait in the stillness
listen to the silence
for in the stillness
and silence
Abba will speak
He speaks always
yet ears will not hear
if surrounded by noise
incessant
be still
quiet the heart
allow the body tense
the mind tangled
to sink into His arms
like a rag doll sinks into the arms of
her little girl
give that which seems impossible
into the arms of the One
with whom all things are possible
and in that silence give thanks
for all He has already done
for what He is now doing
for what He will do
as the spirit waits in silence
longing for nothing more than to
see His glory anew
peace in knowing He is enough
will overflow from the heart
wrapped in joy unextinguishable
listen to the silence
