In the Silence We Pray to God. He Raises Us Up. With His Love
God the Father sits with us. When down and weary. God with His love. Sits with us.
You Raise Me Up.
When I am down and, oh, my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.There is no life — no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.(Rolf Lovland, Brendan Graham, 2002)
Introduction. In stillness. In silence. We wait for Almighty God to sit with us. Each life has its days of sadness. God gives us His love.
