Times of Stillness

 When the rush of life o'ertakes me,

And my soul quiet seeks,

When my mind is full of pressures

That pursue me through the week,

I have a little haven

Where I find my heart's 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 silence,

I feel very close to God!
