The Spirit's Voice

How precious just to find a place
Where we can quiet be.....
To think about our loving God
And all His beauty see.

But we're bombarded every day
With so much "noise and din",
It's hard to pay attention
To the Spirit's voice within.

It's time to push the "pressure" back
And turn the "noise" down low,
So that we may hear His voice
And His direction know.

We cannot mine the golden depths
Which God would have us see
Unless we draw near to His side
In sweet simplicity.

He is our refuge and our strength,
Our "Captain" and our Guide,
And in the days just up ahead
In Him we will abide.

"Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!"
Psalm 46:10 NKJ
