Gentle, grace-filled, quiet space,
Tender, delicate, gossamer place.
Filled with light, a soft caress,
A gift from One who loves me best.
Silence, oh so loving, warm
Radiates around my form.
Peace enfolds me, grace abounds,
Limitless love washes me round.
Completely open, unafraid,
A sense of waiting, not dismayed.
Quiet pleasure, day and night
Awaiting God’s great gift of light.
Light to see the way ahead,
The path where God would have me tread;
This gentle space is truly mine
To help me recognise “God’s time”!
Gentle,
grace-filled,
quiet space.
