Quiet but Urgent

Quiet but urgent
This voice in my head
"This is not right,
Run!"
But can I trust it
"Yes, this is not right,
RUN!!"

I've been here before
Remnants of my past
Didn't know it could last
Far past what I intended

Quiet but urgent
This voice in my head
"Please wait, you know better,
Quiet!"
But I know what I want
"No, please wait, you don't know
QUIET!!"

I'm still not enough
Never really was
Don't think I'll ever be
What I think I should be

Quiet but urgent
This voice in my head
"Be still, you're not enough,
Calm!"
But I need to do something
"No, just be still
CALM!!"

I'm resigned now
It's okay, inside
Broken isn't bad, I don't know
But that leaves room to grow

Quiet but urgent
Resigned and calm
It's okay, inside

Also, mostly written in the worship service and finished on the 27th. Listening to the Holy Spirit is sometimes hard, but much easier when we're resigned to the Lord and done with our own messed up and selfish heart.
