Dark, Quiet God

God likes me in the quiet dark, alone,
my body still, not going anyplace,
an easy time to make my heart His own,
and drench me with His gentle guiding grace.

God looks for some divinly inspired action,
the dark dispells distractions I could see,
He offers His great spiritual attraction,
He concentrates His love on little me.

God’s infinite, His love and time are too,
He can reduce Himself to me with ease,
His mercy and humility are true,
His almost silent voice a whispering breeze.

You bring, O Lord, Your spiritual waves my way,
in dark and quiet before the dawn of day.
