The Secret Place Of God
There is a place of perfect peace
no words can fully tell,
Where saints of grace can seek God's face
and hearts can sit and dwell.
Such is the secret place of God
-undamaged by earth's pain.
Where parched & weary travelers stand
to be quenched by holy rain.
There is a hunger deep within
the soul that longs for bread.
But the secret place prepares a table
where we're filled with Life instead.
Oh, the scorching and the ache
produced by earth's disease.
But oh, the healing from these things
that drive us to our knees.
Oh, the senselessness of life
the futility of so many hours.
But oh, the purpose defined the moment
when we're looking for His power.
Oh, the search for life's true meaning
not found on earth's dark sod.
But tears of joy fall fresh each day
in the secret place of God.
