And we start talking...
Be still and wait in silence.

You raise me up - Josh Groban
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
When will I be still and wait in silence, for You to come and sit awhile with me? Is it only when I have troubles and I cant take it anymore by myself?
Ya, I think many a times, perhaps I only scream out loud to You when I felt that I cant take it anymore. But I fail to realise that all the moments of our life, God yearns to come close to us, to sit near to us for a while, just to whisper and speak to us as we be still and wait for Him in silence and patience. At those moments with Him, He wants to raise us up above our struggles all along, challenges ahead of us (the 'mountains' we have to climb and the 'stormy seas' we have to overcome).
I am strong only when I am weak. Only when I am taking Your yoke upon me. Only when I know You are supporting me on Your shoulders God. Thank You.

*thanks Jasmine for the picture as well! It has well illustrated the verses too! Its like wearing the armor of God. As I think about it, ya we often want to chiong to correct or do alot of things around us, but fail to first and forthmore, off the tap of evilness within us, to allow God to cleanse our hearts with the WOG before we want to impact others. So I pray that we will desire to allow God to come and take control and mold us! Draw us closer to You Lord.
