Lord,
help me know the silence,
your deep silence,
as a gift…
Help me come into your silence,
help me wait there in the quiet,
help me wait there for your peace…
Help me find within your silence
not the void of empty absence
but the fullness of your presence…
Help me trust that in your silence
I’ll find you and we’ll meet,
the Lover and beloved,
in the silence, that sweet silence,
where love’s the only Word…
In your silence, Lord, I am
who I’m truly made to be,
for only in your silence,
in the silence of your Word,
am I truly known and loved…
Help me know you in your silence, Lord,
that I might come to know
who in your love I truly am,
and where I’m called to go…
Amen.
