In the quiet of the dawn, in the hush of the night,
The Spirit whispers, in the softest light.
Guiding gently, with a loving hand,
In the whisper of the Spirit, we understand.

In Your gentle voice, we have nothing to fear.
Through the chaos, through the noise,
In Your whisper, we find poise.

The Spirit speaks, amidst the strife.
A voice of truth, a voice so kind,
In the Spirit’s whisper, peace we find.

In Your gentle voice, we have nothing to fear.

In the whisper of the Spirit, we are found.
In every word, in every sign,
In the Spirit’s whisper, we align.
