There have been times when I have stayed
On the hilltop Lord with you
When everything was peace and joy
And overhead the sky was blue.
There were also times of trial and trouble
Days of doubt and nights of fear
But I never forgot you had promised
Through these times you would always be near.
I really enjoyed being busy
Although days were sometimes fraught
Working hard to extend your kingdom
Serving others as you have taught.
But the hardest time I find is when
I’m not sure of your will; can’t hear you speak
Minutes and hours when I try to listen
Then days that turn into weeks.
You have asked me to stand quite still Lord
Stop and wait to know your will
But I’m finding this very difficult
I would much rather climb the hill.
I do trust that all things work for my good
Because I love you with all my heart
And that you have called me for a purpose
But I don’t want to wait. Can’t I start?
You ask me to come and rest with you
You want to spend time with me
That you have lots you want to say
New things in your Word you want me to see.
So during these quiet days may I be
Content to rest, to sit at your feet
To know and feel your wonderful love
Listening and learning in communion sweet.
