I
A heart truly quiet before God
won't be troubled by the world,
nor person, action or thing;
be quiet before God.
All negativity disappears,
be it conceptions or bad thoughts,
philosophies, wrong human ties;
be quiet before God.
Be quiet before God, relish His words,
sing hymns and praise His name.
Give Him a chance to work on you;
God wants to perfect you.
Let Him gain your heart
and guide you,
this will please Him.
Be quiet before Him.
II
Since you're always
pondering God's word,
your heart draws closer to Him,
it fills you up
with all of His actual words.
Positive new things leave no space
for old thoughts and practice.
Don't heed the negative;
no need to try hard and control them.
Live in His word and
communicate more.
Be enlightened and illuminated
by His Spirit.
As you do this, your notions and pride
will disappear.
And you'll know how to spend,
love and satisfy God,
unconsciously forgetting
all things outside Him.
Be quiet before God, relish His words,
sing hymns and praise His name.
Give Him a chance to work on you;
God wants to perfect you.
Let Him gain your heart
and guide you,
this will please Him.
Be quiet before Him,
this will please Him.
Be quiet before Him,
this will please Him.
Be quiet before Him.
