The Secret Place<\/strong><\/div>\n
Come away with me to the secret place<\/div>\n
The place of refreshing and peace<\/div>\n
Come to me with arms held high<\/div>\n
With heart humbled and free<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Come to where there\u2019s no despair,<\/div>\n
No envy, no hatred, no fear<\/div>\n
A place where only you and I<\/div>\n
Relax, and take time to share<\/div>\n
Sharing heartaches through years of shame
\nNo judgment, no bitterness no blame
\nI\u2019ll instruct you with wisdom and secrets so rare
\nYour heart will sing and dance again<\/div>\n
I\u2019ll carry your burdens for my burden is light
\nHold onto your faith like an eagle take flight
\nSoaring over the mountain peaks
\nDon\u2019t look to the left or to the right
\nJust keep me, in your sight<\/div>\n
Cast all your care at my feet today
\nLay your head upon my breast
\nCome to me with all your heart
\nBe childlike there and rest
\nI\u2019ll keep you in my arms forever
\nAnd love you tenderly<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Walk in my presence and you will find
\nMy Grace is sufficient for thee
\nNo fear or doubt to keep you bound
\nIt\u2019s faith that pleases me<\/div>\n
Turn your eyes upward now and see my loving face
\nMy feathers will cover and hide you, in our secluded place
\nNo rejection will you see in me
\nNo utterances of displeasure
\nAs long as you walk in my presence my child
\nGoodness and Mercy will follow, you\u2019ll see<\/div>\n
Stay close beside me in the secret place
\nAs you linger there and feel my embrace
\nSee the scars of long ago upon my hands and feet
\nA crown of thorns, and bleeding side my blood and water fell
\nWhile hanging on a cruel tree upon Golgotha\u2019s hill
\nTis finished I cried, and tis finished still<\/div>\n
\n

Receive the joy and strength you need so others watching may know
\nThat there\u2019s life and peace, they too can have waiting there for them also;
\nAnd in this secret place they\u2019ll find, angels watching silently
\nStanding in awe at the sight they see, the wonder, the mystery
\nAll who dwell in the secret place will abide under the shadow of the Almighty!<\/p>\n

Psalm 91<\/em><\/h3>\n
\n
1\u00a0<\/sup>Those who live in the shelter of the Most High<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.<\/em>
\n2\u00a0<\/sup>This I declare about the Lord<\/span>:<\/em>
\nHe alone is my refuge, my place of safety;<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0he is my God, and I trust him. (NLT)<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
