‘I hear You in the silence’

— A vilanelle

I hear You in the silence,

in the stillness of the night.

Your voice, waves to

a moonlit shore,

Your beauty shining more.

I listen for Your whisper,

Lord, I listen for Your light.

I hear You in the gentle rain,

Your Word is soft and sleight.

You speak a calm that I adore,

You cause my eyes to pour.

I hear You in the silence,

in the stillness of the night.

You’re with me in the breaking sky,

I hear You in the birds on high.

I feel You in the peaceful morn’,

I hear you in the coming storm.

I listen for Your whisper,

Lord, I listen for Your light.

And when I fall, Lord,

you say, “Rise.”

I hear You in the brokenness,

I listen here, God, more and more.

I hear You in the silence,

in the stillness of the night.

And when I flee, God,

you say, “Fight.”

I hear you in the fire and wind,

Your voice is all I long for.

I listen for Your whisper,

Lord, I listen for Your light.

I know You hear my every cry,

You’ve slain the grave

and gave me life.

Should this peace

become a plague or war,

I will rest in You, my King, my Lord.

I hear You in the silence,

in the stillness of the night.

I listen for Your whisper,

Lord, I listen for Your light.
