"Thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength, and ye would not" (Isaiah 30:15). "Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife" (Proverbs 17:1).
In our quest for quietness
Eluding us in strife,
In returning and in rest
There's confidence in life.
Better is this quietness
That God by grace imparts,
Than all the loud, so-called success
That vexes troubled hearts.
How many times must we relearn
That we should not delay,
When God has told us to return
As we go our own way.
No wonder, then, that confidence
And quietness have fled,
Since God has promised His defense
On paths where He has led.
So lead us, Lord, by waters still
To find Your quietness,
Then in the center of Your will
Where You will surely bless.
