In Our Stillness

Meaning, peace
in our stillness
centering on God
in the truth of his words

Love unending
in sending the Son
down from heaven
to make us one

To lead us to God
if we would but follow
leaving our lives
at the foot of the cross

Going with him
where he is leading
to offer our witness
to the ends of the earth

Only in our stillness
in our openness to his calling
do we find peace
to let go of the world

Needing to remember
the provision of the creator
for all of creation
all over the earth

We are worthy
by the love of the our Savior
coming down
to give us new birth

We need to act
to live out our conviction
answering God’s call
going where we are led
