My soul
be silent
wait upon the Lord!
First let Him speak to thee
then speak to Him;
True prayer in thee the Lord initiates
Thou but a channel art expressing Him.
My soul
be silent
wait upon the Lord!
Learn to deny thy thought and all thy will.
Learn to let God anoint thee with Himself
And thru thy prayer His purposes fulfill.
My soul
be silent
wait upon the Lord!
Silent to all thy wishes and thy plans
Silent to all thy earthly cares and calls
That God may work in thee all His demands.
My soul
be silent
wait upon the Lord!
Yield to the spirit all thy heart and mind;
Here let the spirit show what God reveals
Thee its obedient servant thus to find.
My soul
be silent
wait upon the Lord!
Learn thus to let the Spirit pray thru thee;
All of thy being with the Spirit move
Thy prayer will thus God’s own expression be.
My soul
be silent
wait upon the Lord!
Till in the spirit thou with God art one
Till thru the spirit God possesses all
And thus transforms each part unto His Son.
My soul
be silent
wait upon the Lord!
Till God may freely
fully flow thru thee
Till all thy words and actions hour by hour
Are the fulfillment of God’s will thru thee.
