In the quiet of the morning
when no one else is there,
I slip away to this beautiful place
and have my sweet hour of prayer.
Jesus anxiously awaits me
to spend this time with Him
to share in intimacy and joy
Talking with my Savior and Friend.
He greets me with open arms
and I feel His presence near
And the words He softly whispers
are so sweet and dear.
He holds me as a little child
and extends His gracious care
His peace floods my soul
And His love is beyond compare.
My heart races each time I go
to share in moments like these
With the One who loves me most
And gave His life for me.
His house is my refuge
where I feel secure and so loved
It’s a sanctuary of mercy
It’s where grace is abundant.
Oh how I love this place
It’s what I prepared for him
A place where He can abide
And His name be worshipped here.
Oh, I know that it can’t even begin
to contain the great God I serve;
For He is far above the heavens
and He reaches all the earth.
So very special is my time here
As beautiful words are exchanged
Between my Lord and I
Talking together in this holy place!
