My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!

1.My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
First let Him speak to thee, then speak
to Him;
True prayer in thee the Lord initiates,
Thou but a channel art expressing Him.
2.My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Learn to deny thy thought and all thy
will.
Learn to let God anoint thee with
Himself
And thru thy prayer His purpose fulfill.
3.My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Silent to all thy wishes and thy plans,
Silent to all thy earthly cares and calls,
That God may work in thee all His
demands.
4.My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Yield to the spirit all thy heart and
mind;
Here let the spirit show what God
reveals,
Thee its obedient servant thus to find.
5.My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Learn thus to let the Spirit pray thru
thee;
All of thy being with the Spirit move,
Thy prayer will thus God's own
expression be.
6.My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Till in the spirit thou with God art one,
Till thru the spirit God possesses all
And thus transforms each part unto His
Son.
7.My soul, be silent, wait upon the Lord!
Till God may freely, fully flow thru
thee,
Till all thy words and actions hour by
hour
Are the fulfillment of God's will thru
thee.
