Let all that I am wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in him
(Psalm 62:5; NLT).

(Zephaniah 1:7; NIV).

Who hears your silent prayers.
Talk quietly with God,
Who feels your silent cares.

Who sees your silent fears.
Weep quietly with God,
Who soothes your silent tears.

Who knows your silent aim.
Sit quietly with God,
Who shares your silent pain.

4. Plead quietly with God,
Who loves your silent trust.
Dwell quietly with God,
Who forms you out of dust.

5. Grow quietly with God:
Make this your only goal.
Rest quietly with God:
His Spirit is your soul.

I will put my Spirit in you,
and you will live (Ezekiel 37:14; CSB). 

The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7; KJV).
