I Needed The Quiet I needed the quiet so He took 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 blessing instead A place to grow richer in Jesus to hide I needed the quiet so He drew me aside.

This isn't death, it's glory It isn't dark, it's light! It isn't stumbling, groping, Or even faith, it's sight! This isn't grief, it's having My last tear wiped away. It's sunrise, it's morning Of my eternal day! This isn't even praying, It's speaking face to face. It's listening, it's glimpsing The wonders of His Grace! This is the end of pleading For strength to bear my pain. Not even pain's dark memory Will ever live again. How did I bear the earth life Before I came up higher? Before my soul was granted It's every deep desire. Before I knew this rapture, Of meeting face to face That One who sought and saved me, And kept me by His Grace! |
Jesus, Shepherd of my life Who gently leads the way Please preserve and shield me So that I won't stray away. Your presence guards and guides me Your voice calms all my fear You pick me up in tenderness And hold me safely near. Keep me by Your side Dear Lord Carry me near Your heart Then I'll know the joy and peace Your precious love imparts. |
Our prayers have all been answered I finally arrived The healing that had been delayed Has now been realized No one's in a hurry There's no schedule to keep We're all enjoying Jesus Just sitting at His feet If you could see me now I'm walking streets of gold If you could see me now I'm standing tall and whole If you could see me now You'd know I've seen His face If you could see me now You'd know the pain's erased You wouldn't want me to ever leave this perfect place If you could only see me now My light and temporary trials Have worked out for my good To know it brought Him glory When I misunderstood Though we've had our sorrows They could never compare What Jesus has in store for us No language can share If you could only see me now |
