Reading Quietly

Reading, quietly. 

Listening to the words.

Listening to His voice.

The world fades,

And all that remains,

Is that still small voice.

I love to read and listen.

I did not always,

but now I do.

He has grown my love for Him.

O how I love Him. 

O how I love His law. 

I meditate on it day and night.

I want to be like a mighty tree,

planted by flowing rivers,

filled with water.

I want to drink from the living water.

My soul thirst for Him.

My soul longs for Him.

I love His law. 

I love thy law, Lord.

Continue to give me a hunger for Thy law. 

So I read,

Quietly and stilly,

Hungering for Thy law. 

I read and listen not only because I hunger,

But also to grow my hunger.

So I sit,

Reading quietly.
