Quiet Time
There is a garden in my mind
a brook and shady lane
The scent of flowers linger there
in breezes washed with rain
beneath a tree whose boughs bend low
and bird songs fill the air
I find some time for quiet rest
because Jesus meets me there.

Leaving the dusty, trodden path
the clammer of Earth's demand
I bow in silent, grateful prayer
in this secret peaceful land
all tensions ease, my spirit is healed
and dissapointments die
as He speaks to me, my faith is renewed
for I know that He's heard my cry !
Slowly then, as I rise to depart
I find new hope springing up in my heart
and I hear His words whispered in my ear
"Lo, I am with you, you must not fear !"

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine !
How I thank you Lord, for this "Quiet Time"
