Times of  Stillness

When the rush of life o’ertakes me ,

      And  my soul for quiet seeks ,

When my mind is full of pressures

That pursue me through the week ,

        I have a little heaven

  Where I find my hearts content ,

And the quiet that surrounds me there

         Is truly heaven sent .

For  we all need times of  stillness ;

  To relax and just unwind ,

And let go of small resentments

    That clutter up our minds .

So I seek the soothing quiet ,

     To my haven , safe I trod ,

And alone there in the silence ,

    I feel very close to God !

Be still and know that I am God !
