TIME TO LISTEN

Deep in the night....in the dark and alone...
I gazed on the moon...and  stars that shone...
on the shadows of trees...and dew on the sod...
and spent my time in prayer to God.

He came to me...after a quiet amen...
breeze blowing my hair...chills to my skin...
quietly listening...the sounds of the night...
I hear Him clearly and things seem allright.

When burdens in life...seem too great to bear...
my heart heavy...filled with despair...
He lifts my soul...to places serene...
and provides the strength on which I lean.

When I hear the crunchy, crisp maple leaves...
or the musical tinkling of Aspen trees...
I close my eyes...I'm caressed by the breeze..
I rest in assurance...He is speaking to me.

To be the recipient...such gracious love...
to feel one with the stars...high up above...
puts it all in perspective...clearly I see...
take time to listen...His love sets you free.
