Speak Lord in the stillness...

Thought I would share this poem I read....

Speak, Lord, in the stillness,

While I wait on thee; Hushed my heart to listen

In expectancy.

Speak, O blessed Master, In this quiet hour;

Let me see Thy face, Lord,

Feel They touch of power.

For the words Thou speakest,

"They are life" indeed;

Living Bread from heaven,

Now my spirit feed!

All to Thee is yielded, I am not my own;

Blissful, glad surrender,

I am Thine alone.

Speak, Thy servant heareth!

Be not silent, Lord;

Waits my soul upon Thee

For the quickening word!

Fill me with the knowledge

Of Thy glorious will;

All Thine own good pleasure

In my life fulfill.

Like 'a watered garden'

Full of fragrance rare

Ling'ring in Thy presence

Let my life appear.

-----Emily May Grimes Crawford
