Quiet Time

Well, here I am Lord
Waiting to hear your voice
Thank you for this quiet time
And helping me make this choice.

There are so many things that need to be done
They cry out to be done, today!
Help me to realize the first thing to be done
Is to stop, and listen, and pray.

What good is it all without your call?
Where does the activity end?
Calm me right now, calm my feverish brow
Your Holy spirit send.

Thank you that you're always speaking out
So our quiet hearts may hear
Your healing word as you call us by name
May we hear it loud and clear.
