Take heed of God’s words, listen quietly to His voice,

and He will reveal to you.

Be quiet within Him; He’s your God, your Redeemer.

Make your heart quiet too, at all times live within Him;

He’s your rock, He’s your backer,

the support that you’re after.

I

Have no other mind, but lean wholeheartedly on Him,

and He will most certainly appear to you, for He is your God.

Ah, those poor doubters, they surely cannot stand firm,

and so they will be able to gain nothing for lacking faith.

You must know what a crucial time this is now,

what a key point this is!

And don’t bustle about doing things of no use;

get close to God, in fellowship with Him,

all mysteries are revealed.

II

Listen to the Holy Spirit speaking,

follow every word of His teaching.

Don’t pass them over and keep nothing.

You hear God’s words but leave them behind.

Oh, you are thoughtless and blind.

You’ve missed out so much blessing.

You must listen carefully to God’s word,

fellowship with Him, get close to Him more.

He’ll teach you all that you don’t understand,

He’ll lead you down the path onward.

Pay less heed to fellowship with others.

There are now many who preach doctrine

and the letter of the truth,

but its reality is gained by few.

III

Listening to them will leave you confused and numb,

not knowing how to progress.

For though you listen to them,

you’ll only come to learn letters and doctrines in turn.

Watch your step, protect your heart,

and from God don’t be apart.

Communicate closely with Him and soon He’ll let you see

that which you do not understand very clearly.

Watch your words and watch your heart,

walk the path God walks.

Take heed of God’s words, listen quietly to His voice,

and He will reveal to you.

Be quiet within Him; He’s your God, your Redeemer.

Make your heart quiet too, at all times live within Him;

He’s your rock, He’s your backer,

the support that you’re after.

Take heed of God’s words, listen quietly to His voice,

and He will reveal to you.

Be quiet within Him; He’s your God, your Redeemer.

Make your heart quiet too, at all times live within Him;

He’s your rock, He’s your backer,

the support that you’re after.
