When You Seem Quiet, Lord
When you seem quiet, Lord You are not hiding You are beckoning me To seek you To quiet the shouting voices That demand my attention To pause, to exhale And release the clenched tightness I hold in my body. When you seem quiet, Lord I am the one who is not quiet For I have …
