Quieting My Mind And Spirit

Lord living in the spirit of my mind

Ever keeping me from being blind

To what you have in store for me.

Giving all I need to set me free.

I owe everything to thee.

Please quiet me of random thoughts

Things that you have never brought

Hoping things that could be wrought

Now in the silence of my mind.

Knowing that quiet is so very kind.

In this silence oh so entwined.

All the peace that I do find.

Now that you have silenced all the roar

You have allowed that opened door

Allowing me to walk right through

Together all the good that we can do
