In
silence and stillness be Far removed from the turbulent sea Awake to the sound of the mocking bird Where the still small voice of God is heard No need to fear the perils of the day Clothed in the garment of tranquility stay Darkness fills the souls of all who clamber For riches and gold driven like a hammer The night is filled with tempest and fury For those who lust for wealth in such a hurry Calm the soul and still the mind Stay in peace and leave the flesh behind Today open your heart to the Spirit’s leading Make God and Son your primary feeding Be at one with all that instills new life Apart from the world’s constant strife Home is found in silence and stillness To those who search with love and willingness For a deeper experience of life with God abide And from darkness and evil be sure to hide In silence and stillness the kingdom is found To those destined for heaven bound Watch, look, and listen Within the soul God’s light does glisten Stop running, stop talking, and get off the merry-go-round It’s time to pitch new ground Enter in where God is waiting to make You his for heaven’s sake Amen |
