In This Place


When at my end 
Finished through the list of distraction 
Every glowing, glittering attraction 
That has carried me away 
Alone, every wasted hour past my back 
In the stillness, stopped on the track 
Of this never ending road 
 
His word is the breath of my body 
His gaze is the fire of my heart 
Always 
There is One who dwells in depths and heights 
Of the earth and of my soul 
In the secret hour, always there in the quiet place 
For me 
 
What is left 
Everything that has been, passed away 
Only this still hour where I must stay 
To find understanding 
Silence, no one to speak to my mind 
Waiting here, hoping to find 
 Someone to cry out to
 
His Spirit is the source of my life 
His love is the anchor of my soul 
Truly 
There is One who is beyond all time
Of the past or present 
In the still place, waiting there in glory 
For me
