Listen And Be Still

                                                       LISTEN AND BE STILL

Lord I know you have a purpose for everything you do

But sometimes I want to ask you why instead of trust in you

I know I should not question your way or your will

But when I do O Lord please teach me how to listen and be still

When I face a major battle like the loss of someone dear

Please remind me once again you're always near

Although I may not feel it I know you are there

Lord please wrap your arms around me and keep me in your care

As it says in your word Lord on that resurrection day

We will all be reunited and you'll drive our tears away

Until that time please give me the strength to do your will

And when you speak O Lord please teach me how to listen and be still - Amen

                                        In Loving Memory of my Father
