We’re finishing up our Winter Directed Retreat tomorrow and many of our guests have already shared on their evaluations how grateful they have been for this time of spiritual direction, silence and stillness. Are you able to take a few quiet moments, listening to God’s voice today?
In the Stillness
by Katy Kauffman
In the stillness when it’s just You and me
I can be candid, I can be free
To express what I’m feeling and going through
I don’t have to hide anything from You
The doubts and worries slip away
My heart smiles when I start to pray
I can see Your face again and hear Your voice
I realize once more that I have a choice
I can look for the good and treasure Your work
I can help others even when I hurt
You’re taking care of me every day
I’m never alone, here with me You stay
In the stillness where some crave noise
I regain my strength, I regain my poise
I can stand tall on Your promises and Word
I can move forward because Your voice I’ve heard
So never let me get too busy not to be still
Keep me humble, mold my will
That I may follow You and serve You with all I am
That I may be useful to Your plan
You’re taking care of more than just me
You have a world to love, a world to set free
From the sin and misery that capture us all
Until we believe in Your Son and answer Your call
I set my heart on You to love You forever
I want to be with Your people and serve You together
In the stillness, remind me why I’m here
As long as I’m next to Your heart, I won’t fear
