1. In solitude, be silent,
Still,
And wait upon the Lord,
Until
2. You’re overwhelmed
With waves of light:
Intense, majestic,
Golden, bright.
3. Absorb God’s love
As you breathe in:
Forget your cares,
Your pain, your sin.
4. Then talk to him
As you breathe out:
Share every longing,
Fear, and doubt.
5. Listen to
His still, small voice;
Accept his remedies;
Rejoice
6. And learn from him
With humble grace,
For, one day,
You will see his face.
