A Quiet Place
He bypassed
the noise of the busy city,
Choosing the quiet serenity of a field,
Where watchful shepherds, tending their flock,
Had prayerful hearts- ready to yield.
It was there, a quiet place, God sent His angel
With the most important message on earth...
The proclamation of the Messiah’s coming-
The Lord and Saviour’s birth.
God still chooses a quiet place
To speak His message to men.
He seeks prayerful hearts-ready to yield,
Just as He did back then.
Many are too busy to listen
To the message He would speak,
And the Holy Spirit passes on by-
A quiet place to seek.
Oh, God, we pray You’d not pass us by,
But may we always have within-
A Quiet Place prepared to receive
The message You would send.
“...A meek and quiet spirit is in the sight of God
of great price”
(1 Pet.3:4)
