It is night, and it is quiet

Here it is night, and it is quiet.


My heart contains many dark secrets.
The sun has set on every dream,
Goal, task, and responsibility.
I bring them to the end of the road,
I lie down happily bearing tomorrows load.
Here it is night, and it is silent.
To sleep, my body is defiant.
I reflect the days fleeting thoughts;
Did I keep in mind that which I ought?
My body rests but my mind worries;
When did I even stop to reflect on these things?
Here it is night, and it is still.
My heart is still.
Rising sun brings troubles ahead,
I will trust in God my rock instead.
Guilt threatens to prove me a failure,
My God strengthens me by His grace and His power.
Here it is night, and it is quiet.
Be still my soul, for Yahweh has triumphed.
