In the Stillness of the Midnight

[Christsfreeservant]

In the stillness of the midnight
When all’s quiet and serene
All the hustle bustle still now
And a person rarely seen

You can hear a drop of water
Hear the tinkle of a bell
Hear the ticking of an old clock
And can say that all is well

It is peaceful now, so quiet
All that chitter chatter gone
All the noises of the daylight
Will now wait ‘til break of dawn

All the noises and confusion
All distractions – this or that –
All the busyness and actions
Now are quiet, that’s a fact

Now it is the perfect timing
To have quiet time with God
For reading of His holy word
While reflecting on what’s taught

It is time to hear Him speaking
And for us to lend our ears
For us taking in His teachings
And relieve then all our fears

For it’s in these quiet moments
That we listen to Him best
When we’re free from all distractions
And we find in Him our rest
