Quiet Sunday

Quiet Sunday

Oh, thank You for this silent Sunday morning,
When stillness bids “Be still and know that I am God,”
And You do not speak save
Through the buzzing wings of gathering birds.

All is as if yesterday’s fears have died
Never to return – never to return.
In this moment of a Sunday to refresh with You
And to drink of the unseen wine of a cleansing heart.

Sunday is a good time to visit the church of one's choosing and worship God.

Sunday is anything but quiet these days, Sunlite. Everyone is running off to go somewhere. I love the "unseen wine". He truly cleanses the heart.
