The Quiet Loud

quietly in the stillness
doubts create a harsh noise,
causing my soul an illness
taking what my heart enjoys.

my thoughts become quite loud
disrupting the Spirit's quiet voice,
true faith begins to cloud
leaving me no reason to rejoice.

needing to meditate on His word
dwelling on the goodness of His grace,
especially when my sight is blurred
knowing that with Him I have a place.

then into the silence of the day
my praise to God becomes quite loud,
allowing my Father to have His say
the world's loud nevermore to crowd.

Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God
