Spiritual Poems To Touch The Heart
For Quiet in my mind
quietly I sit
staring as the rain softly
hits the window
I'm trying hard not to think...
Ahhhh but Lord
that's not an easy task for me
my mind has a million thoughts...
I'm grateful that much
of my thinking is on YOU
or for YOU
about us or others pertaining to You....
Even so I long to sit quietly
saying nothing
just for a little space -grace
from all these thoughts biding
for attention in my mind
as lovely as they oft are....
How does one turn off the music
when they like the song?
But Oh my, how sweetly enticing
are YOUR WORDS
when YOU speak
the sound of YOUR Voice
has a unique rhythm
owned by YOU ALONE
so why
WHY
WHY can't I
be still and listen????
I need, I want, I love to Your voice
Your voice alone
Has the power
To quiet
To halt this heaviness
In my chest
These thoughts
That wrestle to win my mind
My faith waits
Till you place Your hands
Upon my chest
Leading its beat back
To stillness.
