When all is quiet... 

and most are sleep 

Dear Jesus, it's me and You 

In these decreasing times 

You are so evident  

in all You've taken me through

When all is quiet... 

and stars reflect the moon's  

translucent glow 

Your marvelous power 

a treasure assured...comes 

because You love me so 

When all is quiet... 

it's the lull of Your Spirit 

that renders the impossible done 

I'll press on in this race 

grateful every moment

for...each step...of the run 

with my future so complex

You usher in winds of calm 

repairing my veil of 'human' strands 

It's Your presence that strengthens 

and, in awe of Your reign 

I do 'surrender' in Your Hands 

Thus, betwixt yesterday's setting 

while sun still hides

from another day's ret  

 I anticipate tomorrow's hail 

for 'tis You that'll come again   

...When all is quiet

 Ps 107:29-30
