In The Secret, Quiet Place

 

When mundane morning comes

and trouble awaits the day

Earnestly I seek Him

in the secret, quiet place.

In the midst of His presence,

what treasure I come to find!

Precious are the lessons

I learn at Jesus' side.

 

I come in weakness and thirst

while trials are a great sigh,

Yet my soul will always delight

in the secret, quiet place I hide.

When Satan lures me in his lies

Ashamed of my sins,

Christ is my Saviour!

To that cross I cling. 

 

You might think He will never reproach me?

What a false friend He would be!

If I search wisdom and life within me

Stubborn man will I ever be.

Then I remember

Forgiveness He gives

To fully understand the mystery

His grace and peace is all I need.

 

How can I be able to praise Him?

From His Word I will know

For riches of His grace lavished on us

In that secret, quiet place I go

How my soul long for that sweet day

to be with Him face to face

but until we shall see Him

In the secret, quiet place I stay.
