Open me to silence, Sound Creator;
Clear my ears from the background of my life,
Quiet the highway of my emotions
As they growl with gridlocked traffic.
When I calm my soul I can hear You.
Open me to silence, Sweet Singer;
Switch off the electronic noise makers,
The automatic switches I flip unawares,
That flap their clamor into my hours.
When I turn from the din I can hear You.
Open me to silence, Word Revealer;
Turn off the inner dialogues,
Still the divisive monologues,
End the gibberish of my misgivings.
When I stop my words I can hear You.
Open me to silence, Source of Sound;
Open me to hear Your words in my heart;
Open me to hear Your teachings in my soul.
— Debbie Perlman
