Psalm 62

Therefore, there is to be a waiting in silence till the Spirit of the Lord moves to speak, and also give words to speak. For we are not to speak our own words, or in our own wisdom or time; but the Spirit’s words, in the Spirit’s wisdom and time, which is when he moves and gives to speak.

The words in the song, “You Raise me Up” - sung by Josh Grogan, sums up the words from Psalm 62

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary, when troubles come and my heart burdened be,
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, Until You come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains, you raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders, you raise me up to more than I can be.

 

There is no life, no life without its hunger, each restless heart beats so imperfectly
But when you come, and I am filled with wonder, Sometimes I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains, you raise me up, to walk on stormy seas,

And I am strong when I am on your shoulders, you raise me up to more than I can be.
