Attain Peace - In a Meditative Way

So we may know God better
And feel his quiet power,
Let us daily keep in silence
A meditation hour.
For to understand God's greatness
And to use his gifts each day,
I must learn to meet Him
In a meditative way.
For our Father tells his children
If they would know His will,
They must seek Him in the silence
When all is calm and still.

For nature's greatest forces
Are found in quiet things,
Like softly falling snowflakes
Drifting down on angels' wings,
Or petals dropping soundlessly
From a lovely full-blown rose.
God comes closest to us
When our souls are in repose,
So let us plan with prayerful care
To always allocate
A certain portion of each day
To be still and meditate.
