"We don't find happiness by being assertive. We don't find happiness by running over people because we see what we want and they are in the way of that happiness so we either abandon them or we smash them. The Scriptures don't teach us to be assertive. The Scriptures teach us—and this is remarkable—the Scriptures teach us to be submissive. This is not a popular idea."
--Rich Mullins

Teach me how to whisper 

so I can learn to be gentle with myself.

Teach me how to whisper

so truth and soul become one within.

Teach me how to whisper

so I speak my truth, gently, unerringly, infinitely. 

Teach me how to whisper

so I may show others their beginning paths.

Teach me how to whisper

so I have no need to shout.

Teach me how to whisper.
