The calm before a stormThe world awakening each mornThe sleeping baby’s tiny breathThe aged saint awaiting deathPrecious silence, peaceful calmSweet embrace, a soothing balmTo be held in Jesus’ palmPrecious silence, peaceful calmA creaking hinge a swinging gateA gentle man with patience waitsA kindly woman contemplatesShyness makes them hesitatePrecious silence, peaceful calmSweet embrace, a soothing balmTo be held in Jesus’ palmPrecious silence, peaceful calmAn empty house an empty roadA gentle breeze through leaves of goldThe song of birds when all is stillBlowing snow in winter’s chillPrecious silence, peaceful calmSweet embrace, a soothing balmTo be held in Jesus’ palmPrecious silence, peaceful calm
