ENJOYING THE “SECRET PLACE

 

As I sit here in the awesome presence of the Most High,

to His precious bosom, He draws me nigh,

I listen intently to hear His lovely heart beat,

in that secret place with the Holy Spirit, I meet!

I look around me in this beautiful place,

which is far away from the noise and the race,

admiring the peace and natural beauty here,

the contentment in His arms, and the lack of fear.

I listen to the songs He gave the birds to sing,

and into my heart, the joy of the Lord they bring,

I take a deep breath of the clear crisp fresh air,

and somehow it cleanses my mind of all my care.

Then I start remembering all He has done for me,

the miracles, blessings, gifts, and changes I see,

all the wonderful people He has brought into my life,

and how He lifted me from a world of torment and strife!

Then, I am overwhelmed with His unconditional love,

as His anointing descends upon me on the wings of a dove,

and I rejoice and praise Him as I bask in His sweet Holy Presence,

returning His love while I savor these moments in His lovely essence.
