I NEEDED THE
QUIET
I
needed the quiet so He drew me aside
Into
the shadows where we could confide,
Away
from the bustle where all the day long
I
hurried and worried when active and strong.
I
needed the quiet though at first I rebelled
But
gently, so gently, my cross He upheld,
And
whispered so sweetly of spiritual things
Though
weakened in body, my spirit took wings
To
heights never dreamed of when active
and gay.
He
loved me so greatly He drew me away.
I
needed the quiet. No
prison my bed,
But
a beautiful valley of blessings
instead—
A
place to grow richer in Jesus to hide.
I
needed the quiet so He drew me aside.
