I Weave a Silence on to My Lips

I weave a silence on to my lips;
I weave a silence into my mind;
I weave a silence within my heart;
I close my ears to distractions;
I close my eyes to attractions;
I close my heart to temptations.

Calm me as You stilled the storm;
Still me, keep me from harm;
Let all the tumult within me cease;
Enfold me, Beloved, in your peace.
