Listening,
In the silence of the sunrise –
Leaves dancing in the breeze of a new day –
Momentarily, they lie silent and still as if pausing for direction.
And then…the dance begins again.
So it is with me, Lord.
I listen for Your voice –
Together we dance.
In Your time,
You quiet my spirit.
Again, my heart listens for Your love song
And a new dance is born.
Keep me dancing, Lord, forever with You.
