Wait and Rest

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
  for my hope is from him.  
He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; 
I shall not be shaken. 
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
 my mighty rock, my refuge is God.  
Psalm 62:5-7 (ESV)

I speak to my God as I lie here awake
in the silence, my heart knows He hears.
I speak, and I wait for a word from my Lord, 
trusting He knows all my burdens and  fears.

Soon my God will release a vast vapor of love
that will send all my worries to flight.
No clouds will obstruct the view of His care
as I wait in the still of the night. 

My soul,
it will wait for my God to come near
for He is my shelter from harm.
My soul,
it will wait for His answer tonight.
He’ll give me sweet peace in this storm.

In this world He is steadfast - 
my trustworthy Friend. 
I cannot be lost from his sight.
So I wait for a whisper
from His Spirit of calm
as I silently watch in the night.
