There is a stillness
in the Christian’s life:
An inner stillness
only known to him
Who has so gladly
laid at Jesus’ feet
His all, and now He
reigns alone within,
Master of every
motion, wish and plan.
In stillness
crowned, He rules supreme as King,
And in that inner
chamber of the heart
Has made a little
sanctuary within.
There is a stillness
in the Christian’s life:
The corn of wheat
must fall into the ground
And die, then if it
die, out of that death
Life, fullest life,
will blessedly abound.
It is a mystery no
words can tell,
But known to those
who in this stillness rest;
Something Divinely
incomprehensible:
That for my
nothingness, I get God’s best!
(from Streams in the Desert - L B Cowman)
