Shhhh

Shhhh...
Keep it to yourself.
Soon you'll receive all your help. 

Bumbling chit-chat has a way of dampening things.
And it only placates the fire that makes the heart sing.

So get quiet and step to the side. 
Over there is where clarity resides.

Then, when God tells you to speak, you'd better speak. 
Come out of hermit mode, stand up, and teach.

When God tells you to walk, you'd better walk.  
Whether it's toward or away, don't hesitate or balk.

So in the meantime,  
Shhhh... Please, keep it to yourself.
Soon you'll receive all of your help.


Proverbs 29:11
