Get the questions right

It sounds nearly uninspiring to say it, and I don't want to shout the words but rather whisper them.
But...I want to be a better follower, more than I want to be better a leader.
I want all of the "Be still and know" moments that may be available to me.
Just breathe.
Take in His Spirit.
(Then follow the advice of the "Fun With Dick and Jane" books.)
Look.
Listen.
See.
Through the eyes of a follower.  

(These were the thoughts behind what's written below)

In the quiet; not yet consumed 
By the day that's to come
There's a voice, that calls forward
In a song, still to be sung
The words are a mystery
The tune, all we hear
O' that we learn to listen
Closed mouths; open ears

Falling on my face
Stumbling in my pride
Comes something of a light
With mourning hope inside
I don't know the answers...but I'm starting to get the questions right.

I don't know how
I don't know when
I don't know why
Or where to begin
I don't know the answers...But I'm starting to get the questions right.

You will catch us there
Together; cradled in your grace
Nothing we can say or do
Nothing left to chase
None will be more
worthy
None will be the least
But all will be invited
'Round the table of a feast

I don't know the answers...But I'm starting to get the questions right.
