I love you Abba, today

I love you Abba, today 

by joel howard

just because he hushes our mouth 

doesn't mean he doesn't love our voice

the peace that he brings in silence supersedes 

the whole of what I would say

if my silence speaks louder

and it is what you want

then my eyes would of you say 

"I love you Abba

I love you Abba, today" 

just because he slows us down

doesn't mean we're home now

the way he gets there is so much better 

than the path I would take

if my stopping takes me further

and it is what you want

then I'll stop here and say

"I love you Jesus

I love you Savior today"

just because he takes away

doesn't negate the gift he gave

the giving and taking is in me making 

a stronger faith today

if my emptying fills me fuller

and it is for you, God

then you may do what you want

"I trust you Holy Spirit

I trust you Holy Spirit, now"
