Silence

silence, silence, silence
all is still in the presence of god
the silence, silence the stillness covers all
the world fades away my mind slips, slips, slips
into the glory of your presence
silence, silence, silence, be still don’t move, just wait
can you hear?
that’s the song he sings over your life, his will for you his love
he calls you his beloved, his treasure, his heart, the one he couldn’t live without
have you ever wanted to hold your breath,
so there would be no sound, no movement, no nothing
just silence, nothing your flesh could do to distract you in his presence
there in his presence I want to kiss you jesus to tell you thank you
to say I love you more than mere actions or words could say
in the stillness in that silence, silence, silence
you dance with my sprit god, my soul
you burn, burn inside of me, changing me as I sit at your feet
so be sill in the just silence, listen, just listen, just wait, don’t move,
don’t go just sit all you need is there.
in his silence, silence in his presence, where all else fades
so in the quiet oh spirit listen and hear your god
there is bread for you here
the silence, silence, silence rushes like a river
washing away all the hurt, pain, problems, desires, yearnings, filling voids

so be silent, just silent, be quiet, sit at the lamb’s feet
and entangle yourself with your lord
be still my flesh and sit the realm of god’s love
in the silence…
