IN THE STILLNESS

In the stillness of my life
I have set myself apart
I seek for You, long for You
In the far reaches of my heart
I wait and I listen
I try to be still
Sometimes I get distracted
From hearing Your will
I don't mind this solitude
This stillness of the mind
Without You, my world is colorless
I'm empty, color blind
I'd be as a rose that refused to open
With her pedals tightly furled
Without You there'd be no existence
For You are my breath, my world
I've learned to welcome solitude
The quiet times I've set aside
It's only then that I can hear
That Your presence can preside
I seek for You, long for You
As I set myself apart
In the stillness, in the quietness
In the far reaches of my heart
