SILENCE THE CLOCK

Laying here awake

Pondering deep in thought

Glimpses of memories

Silence the clock

Hearts beating faster

Twirling still in the winds

Can't catch up

Wisdom has blends

Standing Unsteady

Figure it out

So much unKnown

What am I worried about?

Through the thresholds

Move thine feet

Don't give up

Take a leap

Carry me home

Have and to hold

I AM Yours

More precious than gold

Keep me close

Don't let go

I'm your queen

White as Snow

If this is a storm

How will I stand,

Will I be long gone

Or Stand Firm with Your Plan.

Lying here wakeful,

Drowning in thought;

Glimpses of memories,

The clock’s ticking caught.

​A heart beating faster,

Tossed by the gale;

Struggling to catch up,

Where wisdom is frail.

​Standing unsteady,

I try to discern;

So much is shadowed—

Why do I yearn?

​Across every threshold,

Commanding my feet;

Refusing to falter,

The shadows retreat.

​Carry me homeward,

To have and to hold;

I am Your treasure,

More precious than gold.

​Keep me in shadow,

Keep me in sight;

Your chosen, Your queen,

A garment of white.

​And if there’s a storm,

By Your grace, I will stand;

I won’t be long gone—

I’m firm in Your hand.

Lying here wakeful,

Drowning in thought;

Glimpses of ghosts,

In the clock’s ticking caught.

My heart’s beating faster,

Twirling wild in the gale;

I’m chasing a wisdom

That’s heavy and frail.

​I’m standing unsteady,

Trying to discern;

In the face of the unknown,

Why do I yearn?

But through every threshold,

I’m moving my feet;

I’ll take the leap,

Where the shadows retreat.

​Carry me homeward,

To have and to hold;

I AM Yours—

More precious than gold.

Keep me in rhythm,

Keep me in sight;

Your chosen, Your queen,

In a garment of white.

​If this is a storm,

How will I stand?

Will I be long gone,

Or firm in Your hand?

I won't be a memory

Lost to the sand;

I’m standing steady—

A part of Your plan.

Yes, Lord, go ahead

and Silence The Clock.
