The Power of Silence
By Robert Schaetzle

Lord, how we long to hear your voice
A quiet heart, should be our choice

Our rest is you, to find our way
Never to doubt, your presence to stay

Lessons we learn, your ways, your teaching
Learning to lean, to listen, ever reaching

Never to doubt, faith alone, we'll reach out
Learn to be still, no need to shout

By our heart we listen, we dare not tarry
Lead us, we ask, our burdens to carry

Our prayer is most precious, in our walk of faith
Jesus, our Lord, make no mistake

Lord, we're never alone, you’re always near
Teach us, be slow to speak, but quick to hear

We’ll listen to you, praying your name
Father, through Son, one and the same

With each new dawning, as with evening tide
The power of silence, ever working, in us abide
AMEN
