My lips are silent,
yet there is
so much to say.
The words do not cling
to what my heart prays.
I stand and gaze
up at Your feet,
please, know
in my silence
from You I’ll
never fleet.
What do you speak
when a mouth can’t hold
the gratitude I feel
resonating my soul?
Your voice I hear,
pricks my
listening ears,
and these words
now written
conquer a
paralyzing fear:
“Sweet child,
I know what lies
on your breath;
there is never
a need to speak –
clear your tongue
of regret!
Close your tear-dimmed eyes;
set your worried gaze on Me;
you’ll then feel My hand
free your heart of its plea.
Allow Me due time,
for I’ll never leave you.
And always trust
what I must do.
There is never a need
to ask for your desires;
I have always known
what your soul requires.
All you need do
to make Me smile?
Simply say thank you –
and forever trust Me
to pave your miles.”
