I wrote a song many years ago - it might even be on this blog somewhere, maybe in the earlier years - about how I sometimes feel I am not hearing from God. It talks about why I (we) are sometimes unable to hear Him when we are pleading to hear from Him the most. It's a song that I feel God gave to me... one of those instances when He was the author, I was the pen, and music was the ink. Anyway, it's called "Silent and Still". I sang and played it in church a few weeks ago, and my friends Tina and Leon recorded it on their phone. I didn't know they were doing that, or I would have tried to sing and play it a little bit better. I am going to attempt to post it here regardless of any imperfections, and I hope what you will hear are the lyrics, most of all, because I think we all need to be reminded that hearing from God involves more than just His speaking. Sometimes, a little action on our part is needed as well.
"Silent and Still"
~mg~
I haven't heard from You in a while.
I just realized why.
I haven't stopped and listened, and really tried to hear.
I haven't really been silent and still.
I can't count the times I've felt sorry for myself
For the answers I didn't hear.
I pray for solutions. I pray for Your will. But I haven't really listened,
I haven't really been silent and still.
I will not hear Your sweet voice if I'm doing all the talking.
I will not see Your will unless I close my eyes to mine.
I will not know the peace that comes from the power one can feel,
Unless I'll close my eyes, open my heart and be
Silent and still.
I will not hear Your sweet voice if I'm doing all the talking.
I will not see Your will unless I close my eyes to mine.
I will not know the peace that comes from the power one can feel,
Unless I'll close my eyes, open my heart and be
Silent and still.
