Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly minded,
for with blessing in his hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
---from the Liturgy of St. James, 4th century
...they make me stop... and consider... Do I fear the Lord... as I should...? am I too entangled in this world...? think too highly of my own understanding...?
I hear the counsel given... flesh... keep... silence...
The Lord is in his holy temple;
let all the earth be silent before him.
Habakkuk 2:20 NIV
Lord Jesus... I still the voice of my heart... flesh... soul... in deference to You...
