A Poem by Adine Pietersen
Once I saw the Lord,
I could not be silent!
He put my scoffers to shame
and set my soul free —
How could I be silent?
I had to shout it out!
He made the demons flee,
I could not be silent.
He quenched the thirst within me.
I drank from His living water —
How could I be silent?!
He met me at the well.
He waited there just for me.
He told me of all my sins.
He knew me from the inside out.
I could not be silent!
He noticed my pain,
He healed it with one touch!
How could I be silent?
He drew a line in the sand.
He noticed me in a sea full of people.
He called me daughter.
How could I be silent?
I could never be silent!
I could never be silent!
I could never be silent!
