Noise

So I am really loving the fact that God has blessed me to come back to writing once again. I feel so close to him when I let out my emotions through a simple poem. He reveals himself to me as I put the pen to paper and the words just flow right through me. These are the moments I enjoy with my Father. I love that he uses the things that I enjoy most - like photography, writing, and singing - to connect with him in such an intimate way. So whether the words I write are out of frustration or praise, what matters to him is that he is with me, and he wouldn't have it any other way. I am so thankful that he would love me enough to delight in being with me.

What an awesome God.

Is there a quiet place on this earth?
Is there not a place I can go to be alone?

All I long for is your presence
All I desire is to be with you
All I want to hear is your gentle voice
All I live for is to see is the light of your face

But where can I go?
Tell me, God, and I will meet you there
I will run to the place of your dwelling and stay there forever

I find no peace among bickering men
I feel no comfort in hearing their quarrels
Where is there silence?
God I ask again, tell me and I will go to it!

Embrace me with your arms of protection
Shelter me beneath your wings
And I will lie down in the safety of your mighty power
