QUIET TIME

By Your blood, Your sweat and Your tears,
     my heart has become strong and full of confidence

As a soldier awaits the enemy's attack
     I now stand firmly planted ~
          shielded by Faith
               girded by Truth
                    and wielding the Two-Edged sword of Your Spirit

Your Word has gone forth and I have purposed to listen and obey
     It is then Your blessings flow

And, O, how sweet the blessings
     for this I surely know

Now I lie in wait ~ at times the silence deafens

Yet, it is then my heart remembers ~
     and a song of Faith, of Hope and Peace dances freely off my
          tongue and I am assured I will never be alone

You, my Lord, are my courage and my strength ~
     that which I need to endure the silence of this Your quiet time
          until, by grace, my eyes shall see the dawning of tomorrow
