TW: Christian ✝️ ——— ‘I hear You in the silence’ — A vilanelle I hear You in the silence, in the stillness of the night. Your voice, waves to a moonlit shore, Your beauty shining more. I listen for Your whisper, Lord, I listen for Your light. I hear You in the gentle rain, Your Word is soft and sleight. You speak a calm that I adore, You cause my eyes to pour. I hear You in the silence, in the stillness of the night. You’re with me in the breaking sky, I hear You in the birds on high. I feel You in the peaceful morn’, I hear you in the coming storm. I listen for Your whisper, Lord, I listen for Your light. And when I fall, Lord, you say, “Rise.” I hear You in the brokenness, I listen here, God, more and more. I hear You in the silence, in the stillness of the night. And when I flee, God, you say, “Fight.” I hear you in the fire and wind, Your voice is all I long for. I listen for Your whisper, Lord, I listen for Your light. I know You hear my every cry, You’ve slain the grave and gave me life. Should this peace become a plague or war, I will rest in You, my King, my Lord. I hear You in the silence, in the stillness of the night. I listen for Your whisper, Lord, I listen for Your light.
