There
is a kind of solitude within this Quiet Place.
A
hush is whispered and it is still, as I seek out your face.
How
can it be that I so flawed, and daily struggle so,
Could
kneel within this Holy Place, a heart you truly know?
I
sense the presence of angels near they bow in reverent awe,
that
a mere man can come into your presence since The Fall.
Where
once man walked with you in a garden paradise,
when
innocence and purity reigned, a gift that has no price.
Should
I but think of failures and of sinfulness in me,
I
would never enter here, the last place I would be;
but
now Christ’s righteousness is mine, it is within my heart,
and
I mere man am seen through Him, a pathway He imparts.
I
see His footprints in the sands of time throughout the years,
when
I had faltered, failed and cried, and wept to Him in tears,
“Why
have you let this happen Lord, you know that I am weak?”
“
Trust in Me." He whispered, "I am the path that you do seek.”
How
is it that I see a dampness near The Throne of Grace?
T'was
bathed in tears, He cried for me, on days that He did trace,
When
I was lonely, full of pain and suffering in the night,
He
wept before His Father and said, "I am his Birthright."
Then
as I prayed the angels sang, and glory filled this place,
then
Jesus came and knelt by me, and looked me in the face.
“I
know life has been so hard, and the storms you have borne,
I
never ever left your side, and you were not alone.”
He
touched my face with nailed scared hand and said so tenderly,
“I
am your Hiding Place, and all the strength you’ll ever need.”
He
put on me a pure white robe on shoulders stooped in shame.
before
the Throne of Grace I knelt, I will never be the same.
"Holy,
Holy, Holy!" cried the angels gathered here,
the
sound so magnificent, then a whisper I did hear;
“I
died and rose again so you could come into this place,
to
worship God and know His love, and His tender Grace."
"Lord
how did I not see that this is such a precious gift,
what
Adam lost you have given me, my heart you do uplift? "
The
Quiet Place is where I go to share my life with Him,
who
gave His life for me, as a victory He did win.
So
come you far and near and find The Way The Truth The Life;
In
Jesus Christ you can lay down the burdens, pain and strife.
Come
to Him ... you weak and heavy laden pilgrims now,
on
our knees we'll worship Him, our hearts as one we'll bow.
The
Quiet Place is a hallowed holy time for each of us,
to
meet with God, and give to Him our faith and all our trust.
Find
a place my friend, for upon your knees you'll see,
that
God so loves you as you are, reach out and become free.
Please
take a moment to listen to this beautiful song entitled "Revelation"
by Kari Jobi. Just hit play, and worship in The Quiet Place.
Jesus Himself said:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us."
Jo hn 1:1-5; 9 -18 selected
"I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world."

rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in
heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden
is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30
