QUIET TIME
Originally written 7/3/2000
By Your blood, Your sweat and Your tears
my heart has become strong and full of confidence
As a soldier awaits the enemy's attack
I now stand firmly planted ~
shielded by Faith
girded by Truth
and wielding the Two-Edged sword of Your Spirit
Your Word has gone forth and I have purposed to listen and obey
It is then Your blessings flow
And, O, how sweet the blessings
for this I surely know
Now I lie in wait ~ at times the silence deafens
Yet, it is then my heart remembers ~
and a song of Faith, of Hope and Peace dances freely off my
tongue and I am assured I will never be alone
You, my Lord, are my courage and my strength ~
that which I need to endure the silence of this Your quiet time
until, by grace, my eyes shall see the dawning of tomorrow

and wielding the Two-Edged sword of Your Spirit"...This is the focal point of this poem, and your ending brings my thoughts back to it...My heart is prepared for war, the war that Satan throws at us each day, and then you bring out the quiet time at the end. I love your style of poetry, as well as the shape, but most of all, I love the message. It is quieting to the heart, just what I need today....Blessings!...Helen
