QUIETNESS
Quietness envelopes me like a healing balm,
Filling my whole being with serenity and calm,
This stillness is in His holy temple always found,
And the love of heaven all around does abound.
Quietness holds comfort and a feeling of peace,
A place where all worldly turmoil does cease.
While in the temple you feel healed of all stress
As you serve the Lord, your love for Him confess.
Quietness soothes better than words of comfort,
For through the silence many truths are taught,
Listen through the quietness to hear His voice,
So as worldly strife come you make a wiser choice.
Quietness charges your spiritual batteries to the full,
So your light will be bright through a spiritual lull,
Build up the quiet stillness that makes you whole
To serve in the quiet of the temple to enrich the soul.
