Out of my stillness


This prayer-poem arose during wordless prayer yesterday morning:

Be still in the presence of the LORD (Psalm 37:7; NLT). 

Out of my stillness,
Out of my silence,
Out of my darkness,
And out of my depth,

Lord, comes your Dayspring,
Lord, comes your Spirit,
Lord, comes your voice, and your Word,
And your breath.

One day, in stillness,
One day, in silence,
One day, in darkness,
You’ll take me, in death.

God will redeem me from the world of the dead; he will surely take me to himself (Psalm 49:15; NIV).
