Be Still

When God looks at us with mercy on His face,

How can we forget about His saving grace?

His eyes penetrate ours and what do we do?

Turn away cause we feel sufficient just to be saved anew.

We don't like the idea of meeting Him face to face,

'Cause we have fear, are ashamed, so we need to be disgraced.

Are you being still to hear, and know the Lord is on your side?

Have you stumbled making much noise so you can't with Him abide?

Don't make the terrible and a disturbing wrong choice,

But be still and listen for our sweet Saviour's voice.
