Be Quiet

I listened
Hoping to hear His voice
Quietly waiting for His direction

I heard the voices of this world
Roaring like a mighty wind
But God was not speaking through them

I heard the sound of battles in foreign lands
Shaking the earth and all its people
But God was not speaking through them

I heard loud preachers and evangelists
With fire in their voices they preached the word
But God’s direction for me was not in their words

So I settled down to sleep
Quiet and peaceful
And then I heard His voice
Still and small, giving me direction

Take Time

There is no secret
There’s no big test
The answer is easy to find
If I want to walk
Closer to God
I just have to find the time

I get so busy
My days are all full
I want to spend more time with Him
I juts need to sit down
And quiet myself
Then I’ll hear His voice deep within

He is just waiting
He is just watching
He wants to spend time with me
He is just wond’ring
When I will take time
To sit and learn at His feet

I say I will do it
I say I’ll sit down
But it seems something always comes up
If he can make time
Stand still for others
Why don’t I give Him enough

Dear Lord help me calm down
Help me settle myself
So I can spend more time with you
Then I will find
That the time is well spent
When I give all my time to you
