still

i will be still and know you God.

but its so hard.

Jesus, i want to hear your voice
God, i'm so desparate
there's too much going on in my head
its overwhelming.

clear all the noise in my head
my own thoughts
my selfish thoughts
my own desires
to succeed
to please others
thoughts of other people
thoughts of this world

too many sounds
too many voices
in this world
try to capture the devotion of my heart
but no God
my heart belongs to YOU alone

silence the noise
that keeps me from hearing your voice
your soft, gentle voice
your soothing voice
that brings peace
peace beyond all understanding

Jesus,
come calm the storm in me
