Silent Whispers
Silent whispers fill the air
a listening ear will always hear
the voice is clear,
it speaks with intent
to lift their eyes,
to see his ways,
to meet their need
at the appropriate time
Answers they seek
for hours…. days
for months they speak,
their years slip away
their hope cast down,
their heart begins to freeze
their lives become cold ….
empty isolation… seems real
yet they are never alone…
no matter how it feels
He hears them ask
He sees them seek
for hours, day..
they listen and speak
they turn their ways,
to follow the voice
to see this wisdom,
to seek this truth
They struggle and cry
they demand and denounce
their months become years,
their passions ignite
their voices they lift
their eyes start to glare
their hands once raised in praise
are now contorted in fear
A stranger walks past
with no agenda or need
Just the person of Christ
Walking throughout His days
He would never disturb
this lonely troubled soul
Yet He is pulled by a pain
to stop silently and ask
Why does he cry?
He seems writhed in toil.
I remember that life
How I plead for release
You came to my rescue
You delivered my soul
You love this man
as much as you love me
Please have your hearts desire
I will stand for his cause
I know your cause is love….
for true beauty to reign
For zoe life to be given
and for the gift to be received
Prepare my heart in your presence
prepare the course and way
He is the child of your creation
wield your power and might
You created his freedom
respectfully help him to yield
You know all of these moments
you have seen throughout the years
You knew we both would be here
and I know your choices are divine
So have all that you hope for
live here in my stead
Use my feet to go to him
reach him in his need
Use your heart within me
to obtain your righteous intent
My trust is in your mercy
My strength held firmly within your grace
My courage from the peace you offer
My freedom through what I believe
In stillness I wait to hear you
in faith I listen to receive
Quietly..whispers enter our chamber
truth and justice fill the air
The tone is loving and caring
the voice convicting and sure
My voice now clearly speaking..
I lift my eye to see!
In view is this great cloud of witnesses
charging to be at his side
Singing: My God your words are righteous
holy, lovely and pure
They are a lamp unto them
a blanket to cover their chill
We ask today that he hear you
to see you as we also see
To be broken free from deception
To live lifted above all and freed
For all things there is a season
Let his season finally thaw
Let him walk into your presence
receiving his room with a view
Never again to be lonely
and to have rest for his weary soul.
