So many thoughts that swirl inside,
Which should I capture, put to rhyme?
Emotions rise and ebb like tide
From lowly depths to heights sublime,
Sometimes too deep to form with words,
Not something I can grasp or hold,
Not like a song that I have heard,
And yet more beautiful than gold.
Perhaps when silence fills the air,
The mind’s set free to contemplate,
To rise above the earthly cares
Alone with God to listen, wait,
To patiently sit silent, still,
Read words revealed so long ago,
And seek to His guidance, perfect will,
I’ll see the things I need to know.
Lord give me sight that I may see
The depth of love You have for me.
