A Call to Silence
Lyrics
I listen to the forest in cathedrals made of trees, And to the twilight vespers as the sun falls to its knees. I listen to the echoes of the ageless canyon walls, And to the stained-glass worship of the rainbow
as it calls: “Be still and know, be still and know, be still and know that I am God.” I listen to the whisper of the river as it flows And to the swirling ballet of a thousand flakes of snow. And when I hear the
eagle’s wings repeat a soaring prayer, And when the falling stars cry out, I know that God is there. “Be still and know, be still and know, be still and know that I am God.” Each of these a silent choir, a
wordless hymn of praise, the language is unspoken yet heard in many ways, A soundless sanctuary where I am free to go To meet God in the silence to just be still and know: “Be still and know, be still
and know, be still and know that I am God.”
