If

If, for a moment, we stand in peace and quietness

And let our Saviour come near to us,

Will not the Holy Spirit like a wind,

Engulf us with the inspiration of His eternal word?

If, for a moment, we give our time to a personal friend

And allow the love of Christ to fill us,

Will we not feel the touch of His hand,

That ministers through our weakness to bless another?

If, for a moment, we stop to gaze at the Cross of Christ

And see the Father weep for the Son;

Will we weep too, and know the passion

Of His glorious victory over evil, suffering and death?

If, for a moment, we stand back from the distraction of life,

And wait for the voice of God to speak;

Might we hear a whisper in the world,

That tells us He is full of love, and never stops His caring?

Take the time, my soul; yes, take the time.
