Are You Listening?

This last Wednesday at choir rehearsal we were rehearing a song called In The Calm for this Sunday. We sung through it once and our director stopped us and spoke to us. He was saying how so many people will pray and then are done. They say that their prayers are never answered but have they ever stopped to listen for the answer. The words of this song explain what we all need to do. Forget what you need to cook for dinner, what the boss wants you to do, where your kids need to be next, etc., etc. Just clear your mind and listen. It really hit home to just about every member of our choir. Thought I would share the words of the song with you.

In the calm of Your presence

I am listening, Lord

I am still, I am quiet

I am Yours

Let Your Word speak to me

Let Your Spirit draw near

I will obey

The truth that I hear

In the calm of Your presence

I am listening, Lord

I am still, I am quiet

I am Yours

There's a thirst in my soul

For Your wisdom divine

I long for the peace

And life that I find

In the calm of Your presence

I am listening, Lord

I am still, I am quiet

I am Yours
