A Quiet Place
by Robert Hedrick
As I bow my head and close my eyes, going to God in silent prayer, Then I feel His perfect peace and love that’s surrounding me there. Far away from the rest of this world that’s moving at a rapid pace, Just The Lord and I, having a private session in my quiet place.
Then, for me, I find my quiet place is usually not hard to find, There’s most always one close by wherever I might be at the time. Knowing that God will surely hear me from any corner that I call, Meeting each of the requests I make, no matter how large or small.
There’s been some special quiet places that I’ve enjoyed in the past, Although it always seems the one most special, was the one I had last. No matter when or where, when I’m talking to God, it is special to me, While fishing from a creek bank or finding shade under a big oak tree.
Most praying folks have a favorite quiet place and I sure have mine, This is where I privately talk to The Lord My God most of the time. Alone in bed, before I go to sleep and again, beginning the new day, Then as I go to Him, I receive that needed encouragement as I pray.
