Quiet Solitudes
by
David Redmond
In the quiet solitude of the night
I wait to hear from the Lord of Light
Asking, seeking, knocking, I labor
Answer me Lord, with the truth of your sabre
 
Hearken O'Lord, please hear my cry
My heart feels so empty, I just want to die
Cleanse me and fill me, banish my fear
Strengthen my heart and make me to hear
 
What is your voice like? I'm filled with wonder
Is it loud, do you roar, do you make it to thunder?
Will I cower and tremble, filled with great fear,
Asking myself why I wanted to hear?
 
Why would you speak to me who's so lowly
When you're the Most High, full of glory and holy?
Why would you notice one made of dust,
One only worthy of your disgust?
 
Surely you see that I want to be near
To sit at your feet and give you my ear
Knowing your presence and hearing you speak
Making me glad I decided to seek
 
Your words I desire, your fullness to know
To be filled with a fire that makes me to glow
Filling me full with your words of instruction
Words that will keep me from selfish destruction
 
Hearken my son! I've heard your cry
Know that for you I sent Jesus to die
That you were made righteous, holy and pure
To stand in my presence, sanctified sure
 
Come into my presence and bask in my light
Be filled with my glory, honor, and might
Walk in assurance on a foundation of stone,
That in all your circumstances, know this: You're not alone!
 
Amen.
 
Praise the Living God!
