Quiet Me With Your Love

Quiet me with Your love, Lord The noise of the world is loud I cannot hear Your still small voice Whispering in my ear….. Quiet me….. Hush this beating of my heart, Lord This frenetic pace Set by the world’s clock of madness The strive to achieve and do And forget all about You Help me just to BE Quiet me…. Rock me in Your arms, Abba My heart is battered and bruised Used and abused Subjected to public disgrace I can’t show my face Dry my tears, Abba, Father Dry my tears as You rock me in your arms…. To rhythm of Your grace In the light of Your face Quiet Me... Sing over me, Father, sing over me That eternal song that You know so well The one that casts out every spell Born in Your heart of love That reminds me I’m a child of the King Under the shadow of His mighty wing Sing over me, Father, sing over me Your melody soothes my soul Your voice calms and makes me whole Quiet me…. Let me fall asleep in Your arms, Abba I need to rest I’m tired of running around I’m tired of trying my best It’s never good enough for them It’s never good enough for me But…I never need to be good enough for you I just need to be Me Your child….Your Little One….The Apple of Your Eye Let me sleep with the sound of Your heart That beats in the Word Lulling me to sleep…as I forget to weep Oh Lord…Quiet me! Eileen Manassian Ghali The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love He will rejoice over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3: 17) This is one of the innumerably beautiful verses underlined in my Bible…Yes….Oh, Yes! I need this assurance, don’t you? As a child seeks solace in the arms of a parent, we can seek comfort in the arms of God. Abba….a Hebrew term of endearment (Daddy)

I'll wager there are times you wish He'd quiet me lol. Is that song He's singing 'Dancing Queen' by any chance lol. Lovely poem though Eileen. Take care, Richard

To be honest...No, Richard. I really LOVE the noise you make! It keeps me on my toes....Yes...I do LOVE Dancing Queen...it just takes me to another world, and yet...I'm sure that is not what He is singing in my ear to calm me down. I will try to quiet you, Richard.... ;)
