There
are times, Lord, when all I want to do
is to rest in the quiet of your presence,
in the silence of your peace...
There are times when your silence tells me
all I need to know of how you love me:
when your heart speaks to mine
in a language without words,
when words could never tell the love
that my heart finds in yours...
But then come times
when the quiet is a place I fear,
and silence is a burden,
and silence is a burden,
when I wonder where you are
and I strain to hear a word - just one -
to let me know you're there...
and I strain to hear a word - just one -
to let me know you're there...
There are times, Lord, in the silence,
when my pain and problems ring alarms
and echo ever louder,
when I wait and long to hear a word
from your lips to my soul,
when my pain and problems ring alarms
and echo ever louder,
when I wait and long to hear a word
from your lips to my soul,
a simple word to bring the peace
that echoes in the quiet...
O Lord, do not be silent
when I need to hear your voice;
when I wait to hear a word of comfort
solacing my grief;
when I need to hear a word of challenge
rousing me from sin;
when I listen for your wisdom word,
teaching me the truth
and leading me to - silence -
when I need to hear your voice;
when I wait to hear a word of comfort
solacing my grief;
when I need to hear a word of challenge
rousing me from sin;
when I listen for your wisdom word,
teaching me the truth
and leading me to - silence -
where my soul finds rest in you...
and wait your word of rescue,
reach out and throw my heart a line
of saving, sweet deliverance,
strong words to save and lift me
to your sheltering embrace...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me as I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep rest in your peace...
Amen.
