I come with open hands
Ready to receive all that You have for me
I come with outstretched hands
Ready to reach up and place my hand in Yours
I come with empty hands
For what could I give
To the One who has given so much to me?
I come with an open heart
Ready to be filled with all the fulness of Your love
I wait…
I wait…
I wait for You
I quiet my heart
I quiet my mind
I let go of the jumble of thoughts
That occupy my mind
I still my heart
I cease from my striving
I wait in the stillness
I wait in the silence
I wait…
I shut out the noise
I shut out the conflicting voices
And tune in instead
To the quiet beating of Your heart
I breathe in Your stillness
I breathe in Your peace
I let go of the weights
I let go of the cares
I let go of the things that distract me
And drag me down
I let go…
And in that place of stillness
In that place of peace
In that place, free of striving
I encounter You
I encounter love
I encounter life
I encounter joy
I encounter You
I encounter a depth of peace
That is only found in Your stillness
As I wait here in the quiet
With You
