silence for awhile

silence for awhile.
seal your lips and sit with me.
silence for awhile.

—

silence for awhile.
the truth moves unspeakably.
silence for awhile.


[ TELL IT TO ME TWICE ]

Sit in silence,
go into darkness,
Daughter of the Babylonians;
no more will you be called queen of kingdoms.
Isaiah 47

Be silent before the Sovereign LORD,

for the day of the LORD is near.

Zephaniah 1

As they wail and mourn over you,
they will take up a lament concerning you:
“Who was ever silenced like Tyre, surrounded by the sea?”
Ezekiel 27

—

When the Lamb opened the seventh seal,
there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
Revelation 8
