Every Sunday the lyrics from some great piece of Christian music will be featured. It's not that I want worship to revert to using all hymns, it's just that many modern Christian songs don't SAY anything. I really miss some deeper meaning. So I'm going to remind us of some great words.
There is a Quiet Place
by Ralph Carmichael, 1967
There is a quiet place
Far from the rapid pace
Where God can soothe my troubled mind
Sheltered by tree and flow'r
There in my quiet hour
With Him my cares are left behind
Whether a garden small
Or on a mountain tall
New strength and courage there I find
Then from this quiet place
I go prepared to face
A new day with love for all mankind
This song is on one of my favorite albums of all time, "Creature Praise," which has never been released on DVD. What brought this song to mind this week was a windy day stoll. You can read about it at A Quiet Place
This version, by the Heritage Singers, is very similar to the one on the album.
This song brings to mind another wonderful piece of lyric music. It is "Sweet Hour of Prayer" and truly the answer for our troubled souls because we live in a broken society. In a time when people need to know the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Richard B. Owen
