To be grateful is to recognize the love of God in everything He has given us–and He has given us everything. –Thomas Merton, writer and poet
In a still, small voice
The Father called to me
Awakening my heart and soul
To love that I had only dreamed of
In the silence of the night
Across the starlit heaven’s bright
Hangs a giant moon who glows
Softly down to earth’s unhurried June
In a gentle, soothing quiet
Soft as a lavender hue pressing in
Through waves of purple and violet
Like lilacs laughing soundlessly
In the noiseless night so bright
With a full moon whispering
Through melancholy darkness
Where a gentle hush settles in
In a breath of unhurried tunes
Music so easy it leaves hearts lighter
Feelings kinder and spirits
Wiser than they were previously
In the moment, where peace lives
There comes the sigh of happiness
Seasoning the emotions with
A light from within, a brilliant spark
In a promise from God’s song
As He colors the world all hope and love
There comes a serenity so supple
It touches the edge of eternity
In the calm, cool heavens
There lives and breathes a desire
For joy so full it completes
With God’s soothing sigh of faith
In a word, silence brings grace
The way hope erases gloom
Light destroys the darkest night
And compassion cheers the desolate
Silence, it seems, will bring
Soothing, sensitive serenity
To the soul who believes
Receives and concedes …
That still, small voice
Sends sweet surety
As silent prayers succeed
In bringing Salvation to the soul!
