Author: Michael Saward, 1932- Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 62 Lyrics: 1 In silence my soul is waiting,
is waiting for God alone;
deliv'rance from him is coming,
my rescuer, fort, and rock.
In silence my soul is waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved.
2 You set on a man and you beat him,
the pack of you knock him down;
as a tottering wall he staggers,
sub-sides like a sagging fence.
In silence my soul is waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved.
3 You plot for his undermining,
you slander him with your lies;
you love, with faint praise, to damn him;
sweet tongued, you've a curse-filled heart.
In silence my soul is waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved.
4 Be silent, my soul, in waiting,
in waiting for God alone;
assurance from him is coming,
my rescuer, fort, and rock.
Be silent, my soul in waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved.
5 There's safety in God, and honor,
my refuge, my rock, my strength,
so hide in our God, you people,
and pour out your hearts to him.
Be silent, my soul in waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved.
6 Just puffs of the wind, the people,
great men are illusions, all;
as breath in the air, they're measured,
then weightless they fade away.
Be silent, my soul in waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved.
7 Don't trust, then, in cruel extortion,
don't plunder, defraud, and steal;
don't set your heart on possessions,
especially if they increase.
Be silent, my soul in waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved.
8 Uniquely, our God has spoken,
of two things I've heard him speak;
he's the source of pow'r and mercy;
to men he repays their deeds.
Be silent, my soul in waiting;
secure, I shall not be moved. Topics: Deliverance; Waiting upon God ; The Christian Life Trust in God Used With Tune: SILENCE
