in the quiet...

it is now in the quiet

when I feel most alone

I am closest to God

I know

He knows

the sorrows of my heart

the longing of my soul

it is now

He sends His angels

multitudes

to soothe my soul

sing to my spirit of His great love

I see the tears He cries when I cry

I see my tears in His eyes

He weeps for me

He feels my pain

taking each ache each sorrow

releasing me from their hold

opening my soul once more

to feel His love

unconditional for me

given

without return or cost

He gives

I find rest in His arms

comfort in His peace

I find God

when I release control

letting go

I see

God’s love in me

my strength to try

He holds me together

He is my stronghold

to stand once more

yes

it is when I feel most alone

I am home

in the arms of my God

His love

overflowing unconditional

always

blessed are His angels comforting me now –

Your turn

I know dear God

in me lives the strength of You

many times I have seen steps of only one

knowing

it was You carrying me

because I could not see

tired was my soul though I held on

I always believed it was You

I was holding onto

it is my wish now dear God

to carry You

to share what You have shared with me

love unconditional

strength everlasting

forgiveness and grace

that I may speak to many

these words You share with me now

so each may know

You are there

waiting

for each to ask

nothing do You seek

but simply to teach

the beauty of love unconditional

the power of Your strength

the gift of forgiveness

the treasure of grace

priceless

yet free

it is my turn to speak of You

so many can know your truths

thank you God for the beauty I see

the Spirit of You

living in me...

simply be

dear God I thank You for being strong

when I am weak

always I try to follow Your lead Your path

yet I know at times I take control

I am sorry please forgive me

humbly I ask once more

take control

I know Your way is better than mine

with You I am fine

Your direction true

steps You choose

though I may not see I know

You see what lies before me

making each step true to my souls desire

the fire You placed within long ago

the part of me You see when I am lost

I am grateful You are strong when I am weak

I listen to Your song in my heart

Your direction I seek

always God

in all ways

let people see You in me each moment each day

Your reflection Your light shining from my soul

my words my hope reflected in all things I do

may it speak of Your truth

my friend

beside me loving me unconditionally

I am grateful God for this gift beyond measure

a treasure

priceless

thank You God

for the me I see within

I know I am lost without You –

Amen
