Lonely Place

There is a

lonely place

I need to find.

God wants me

to seek Him there.

During three full years
of ministry,
the Lord withdrew
to a lonely place
to be with His Father.

He left the clang and clamor,
the pressing, never ending
insistence of human need.

He listened to His Father's heart,

and He knew how and what to do.

Heart words are so softly spoken,

you cannot hear them in company.

You need to be in
a separated sky drawn space,

or an empty room,

where stillness can settle your soul
to hear the precious words
that are meant for you alone.

Draw aside to the lonely place,

He is waiting for you there.
