Be Silent Be Still
Be silent, be still
and listen for his voice
He speaks in many ways
When we’re not making noise
Perhaps through a dream
Or a gesture or letter from a friend
Maybe in our circumstance
But we just can’t pretend
Not to hear, listen dear
You might feel it in a tug
That pulls upon your heart
In the dead of night
When you’re alone in the dark
When sleep won’t come
And your mind won’t stop
When he draws you to his word
At the most random time
When you feel like you’ve been given
The biggest task on the block
Or you might receive a warning
Of a place you shouldn’t go
Or something not to do
He’s there in the still and quiet
When you’re not making noise
Will you sit still and listen
Because you have the choice
Are you wholly in his word
Spending time upon your knees
Cause that’s when you’ll realize
That he’s in the in between
He has a higher calling
And he calls upon his own
When things aren’t making sense
And you’re on the longest trek
He’s got the road mapped out
And the way planned ahead
So be silent and be still
And listen for his voice
