Strength Enough to be Silent

This is a song I wrote several years ago and have just recently remembered and found myself singing :)

Vs 1
Who would have thought it would take a lion's strength
Just to choose to be silent and still?
Who would imagine I would need the courage of a warrior
To wait and rest in Your will?
But here I am, trembling in the frenzy of the battle
Afraid to take refuge in You

Chorus
Give me strength enough to be silent
Power enough to wait
Boldness enough to just be still
Courage enough to stay
And rest

Vs 2
Help me give up the rights to myself
Help me lay down the plans I have made
To deny the anxious pleadings inside
To simply trust and obey
To quiet my heart in the frenzy of the battle
And choose to take refuge in You

Bridge
"In repentance and rest is your salvation
In quietness and trust is your strength
Rest in Me
Wait on Me
Stay with Me
I'll give You strength...

Enough to be silent...
