Sept 6.00: Light For The Day - "Silent Beside the River"

-- Psalms 46:10 
"Be silent, and know that I am God.
I am exalted among the nations, 
I am exalted in the earth!" 

-----------------
"Silent Beside the River"

The winds of silence call 
Come and sit with me --
Come and find serenity 
Don't rush about so much. 

I have a call for your heart 
but it can't find a port-- 
it's continually being sent 
to a connection of a noisy sort. 

I could calm your troubled waters 
make them calm as the crystal sea 
If you would only rest awhile 
and have a talk with me. 

Out of the streams and by-ways 
of my flowing spiritual river 
I could cleanse your tarnished wounds 
make them into sparkling silver. 

There's a calling deep within--- 
A special place where we belong--- 
If we take time to listen in silence 
We can flow with the river as it goes along.

-- Ivie Bozeman

-- Habakkuk 2:20
"But the LORD is in His holy Temple. 
Let all the earth be silent before Him.”
