Speak, Lord, in the stillness, While I wait on Thee; Hushed my heart to listen, In expectancy. |

Speak, O blessed Master, In this quiet hour; Let me see Thy face, Lord, Feel Thy touch of power. |

For the words Thou speakest, They are life indeed; Living bread from heaven, Now my spirit feed! |

All to Thee is yielded, I am not my own; Blissful, glad surrender, I am Thine alone. |

Speak, Thy servant heareth, Be not silent, Lord; Waits my soul upon Thee For the quickening word. |
|

|
Fill me with the knowledge Of Thy glorious will; All Thine own good pleasure In Thy child fulfill. |

Like a watered garden, Full of fragrance rare, Lingering in Thy presence, Let my life appear. |

"Speak Lord .... While I wait on Thee;" When God spoke to Samuel the first time, he thought it was his master Eli, the priest and judge of Israel. As instructed by Eli, he responded: "Speak, for Your servant is listening.” Apart from the Lord Jesus Himself, there is not a person in the Bible who followed God closer then Samuel did. And God entrusted the boy with a message of doom normally not meant for a child to hear. Samuel listened to God with a servant's heart and he became a great man in the Kingdom of God.
I find it hard to listen, I have so much to say. God help me to linger in Your presence!

What a beautiful, lyrical prayer. I have known these words much of my life, although not sung them in church in recent years. This morning as I thought of my oft repeated prayer from Psalm 119:18, these words sprang to mind.
Beautiful words. May I hear His voice. I will be still and wait.
