Stop and listen
Quell the fear
Take the moment
You are here
Fervent hopes
And relished dreams
Take the place
Of what may seem
Quickened pace
And rushing now
Stop the madness
Cease the plow
Throwing seeds
On worthless ground
Is like the quiet
When seeking sound
Find the soil
Where life is grown
Place the hope
With truth that’s known
Dirt that covers
Promised seeds
Protects the hope
Our heart needs
Seeming darkness
Waits for light
Pushes through
And blooms delight
Past mistakes
And choices made
Lead the days
That Jesus saved
Perfection altered
There is no one
Who keeps the way
As God’s own Son
His way to goodness
Leads from us
Brings a hope
Life from dust
