silence

© 2008, Ryan Dale


 

Silence is the air I breathe

Stillness is all I feel

I listen in this quiet place

to hear the sound of Thee walking beside me

 

The world out there is cold and cruel

and I don't know why I'm still here

Sometimes I wonder, "Are You there?"

when I forget to be still and know that You are God

I am in the hands of God

 

I don't want to be always running to and fro

Out of control, and I can't stand still now

You never fail

You're always, fully in control

Never forsaking, never leaving me

 

I rest beside this quiet stream

I lay my head on softest green

Somehow You have restored my soul

Life is more than bread, life is the very words You say

I listen to every word You say

 

When nights are long it's hard to see

all the ways You've been faithful to me

Then Your morning shines once more

How can I forget all You have done that I might see

glory beyond this world I see

 

I don't want to be always running to and fro

Out of control, and I can't stand still now

You never fail

You're always, fully in control

Never forsaking, never leaving me

 

Never forsaking, never leaving me

 


2 Samuel 22:29

Proverbs 18:24

Isaiah 41:10, 13
 



The world is a frantic, fast-paced storm of conflict and frustration. God is our refuge and peace, the only Source of Life.
