  • Hush now

    Be still. Be present. Be quiet. 

    Hush now. 

    Let us listen. 

    Let us wait just for a moment in the peacefulness of this place. It’s beautiful here. I’ve forgotten what that’s like because life is full of noise. There’s so much noise, in my head, in my heart and in my thoughts. I’m distracted. 

    How can I turn down the volume? 

    Where can we find a space and a place to simply be? 

    To be still and to know that you are really God. 

    To linger and to hear the whisper of your voice once again. Bring me back to this place. To the heart of worship. Where all else is stripped away. Where it’s just you and me. 

    Hush now

    Just for a moment. 

    Listen to me. 

    Can you hear me whisper? 

    Can you sense my presence? 

    What does that feel like ?

    Peace like a river. 

    My gentle whisper. My tender voice is here.

    It’s near.

    Not in the wind. Not in the fire but in a gentle whisper. 

    Hush now.

     Listen.

     Just for a moment. 

    Breathe in. Breathe out. 

    Look up. 

    What do you see ?

    Wait. 

    What do you hear?

    For I have something to share with you. 

    Be still and know that I am God. 

    I am always here. 

    I am always speaking. 

    Are you ready to listen?

    Hush now.

  • Your steadfast love

    Through every storm
    Your peace is always there
    Even when I see on the horizon
    A tide of change emerging
    In each and every moment
    When waves come crashing in
    Where there’s a toss, even a turn
    Your steadfast love remains
    An anchor to my soul

    When I struggle to understand
    The depths of your knowledge
    And the wisdom of your ways
    When everything around seems uncertain
    And doubts echo along the way
    There’s one thing that remains faithful
    This I know is sure
    Your steadfast love remains
    An anchor to my soul

    When I find myself searching for answers
    To the mystery of your grace
    Your compassion for the broken hearted
    And for those who stand tall
    I’m lost in the wonder
    By the hidden beauty of it all
    Even in the hardest of moments
    Your steadfast love remains
    An anchor to my soul

    For you know my every thought
    Hear my daily prayer
    Through all of my searching
    To understand your reasons along the way
    You whisper words of amazing grace
    Bringing comfort and perfect peace
    One thing I know for sure
    Your steadfast love remains
    An anchor to my soul
