Dear Friends who are also my family in Christ, below are words that started coming to me while out side talking with the Lord a few moments ago. I wish I could sing this to you, for it is a song, and I hear the parts and the harmonies. It would be sung in a slow manner with several rests through out the peace. But I would prefer no music. The song would probably be sung best somewhere between keys c and e-flat. Here goes hope this finds you well and that you will gain from the words.
Verse One
As sunlight was shining so fair and so bright,
I thought on my Jesus, who hath washed me white,
I looked up to Heaven and earnestly prayed.
Lord, Lord, show me thy way.
Yielded and still. Yielded and still.
Thus speak Holy Spirit and show me thy will.
My heart is now open; I’m ready to hear.
Have mercy Lord Jesus. I’m yielded and still.
Verse Two
Empty and dark are the ways of my own.
Short pleasures of life doth leave me so cold,
If thou made me free I am free indeed.
So now Holy spirit Thy peace I’ll receive.
Verse Three
Now rivers of joy streaming into my Soul.
As I place my whole being beneath His control.
Sweet hope that is sure. And stable I know,
Peace, sweet peace now reins in my Soul.
Yielded and still. Yielded and still.
Thus speak Holy Spirit and show me thy will.
My heart thou hast open and now I can hear
For thou hast had mercy.
Thou hast surely had
mercy,
Thou will always have mercy.
As I am yielded and still…
