My Favorite Time of Day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I seek the stillness of the dusk,

The evening hovers near,

And I will settle in its peace

Knowing that You are here.

 

The day was filled with daytime things,

The night will bring me sleep,

But in between I find stillness

And peace that I can keep.

 

I wouldn’t give up the bright day

Or the deep, starlit night.

Yet it is in the in between

That I find most delight.

 

For that is where I find myself

With time to just be still,

And listen as You speak to me,

Knowing, full well, You will.

 

During the day I call to You,

For what my need might be,

But in the dusk I can at last

Hear You speak back to me.

 

Thus I seek the stillness of dusk,

As evening hovers near,

And settle into the soft peace

I feel when You are here.
