As we continue to explore stillness and silence, I encourage you to
slowly and prayerfully read these words; then pause to let holy quiet settle
into your heart, soul, mind, and body.
Holy darkness, blessed night
Heaven's answer hidden from my sight
As we await you, O God of silence
We embrace your holy night
I have tried you in fires of affliction
I have taught your soul to grieve
In the barren soil of your loneliness
There will I plant my seed
Holy darkness, blessed night
Heaven's answer hidden from my sight
As we await you, O God of silence
We embrace your holy night
I've taught you the prize of compassion
You have stood before the grave
Though my love can seem
Like a raging storm
This is the love that saves
Holy darkness, blessed night
Heaven's answer hidden from my sight
As we await you, O God of silence
We embrace your holy night
In your deepest hour of darkness
I will give you wealth untold
When the silence stills your spirit
Will my riches fill your soul
Holy darkness, blessed night
Heaven's answer hidden from my sight
As we await you, O God of silence
We embrace your holy night.
May God embrace your waiting and wondering, stillness and silence this
day. Amen.
