My Heart Whispers His Name

During the morning
I was wrapped, in His grace
In the still of the night
I now seek His face

In the hustle of the day
I pushed Him aside
Now in the evening
I want Him, again by my side

Outside, I am alone
In the quiet of the night
A beautiful, soft light
Soon fills my sight

Silver light, to earth
The moon does bestow
I stand amazed
Awash, in its glow

The cool night air
Softly kisses my cheek
A moment so lovely
I am unable to speak

Unable to utter
So much as a sound
By the beauty of this moment
I am bound

Sweet joy, to me
This beauty does impart
Yet, there is something
Still troubling my heart

Outside, alone in the night
Silently I stand
Longing for the touch
Of the Master's gentle hand

I soon feel His presence
He is now near
I am no longer alone
Jesus is here

I cannot help but wonder
What brought Him to me
In a crystal clear thought
I soon see

Words were not spoken
But He heard me just the same
Because, when my voice is silent
My heart whispers His name

Absolutely beautiful. Our connection with God is always present in a sometimes subtle but always beautiful way.
