Hymn/Song Information

My soul be silent wait upon the Lord

My soul, be silent,
wait upon the Lord!
First let Him speak to thee,
then speak to Him;
True prayer in thee
the Lord initiates,
Thou but a channel
art expressing Him.

My soul, be silent,
wait upon the Lord!
Learn to deny thy thought
and all thy will.
Learn to let God
anoint thee with Himself
And thru thy prayer
His purposes fulfill.

My soul, be silent,
wait upon the Lord!
Silent to all thy
wishes and thy plans,
Silent to all thy
earthly cares and calls,
That God may work in thee
all His demands.

My soul, be silent,
wait upon the Lord!
Yield to the spirit
all thy heart and mind;
Here let the spirit
show what God reveals,
Thee its obedient servant
thus to find.

My soul, be silent,
wait upon the Lord!
Learn thus to let
the Spirit pray thru thee;
All of thy being
with the Spirit move,
Thy prayer will thus
God’s own expression be.

My soul, be silent,
wait upon the Lord!
Till in the spirit
thou with God art one,
Till thru the spirit
God possesses all
And thus transforms
each part unto His Son.

My soul, be silent,
wait upon the Lord!
Till God may freely,
fully flow thru thee,
Till all thy words
and actions hour by hour
Are the fulfillment
of God’s will thru thee.
