"A Place of Quiet Rest"
Inspired by the words of an old hymn !!
There is a place of quiet rest,
Near to the heart of God,
A place where sin cannot molest,
Near to the heart of God.
Refrain: O Jesus, blest Redeemer,
Sent from the heart of God,
Hold us who wait before Thee
Near to the heart of God.
There is a place of comfort sweet,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where we our Saviour meet,
Near to the heart of God.
Refrain
There is a place of full release,
Near to the heart of God.
A place where all is joy and peace,
Near to the heart of God.
Refrain.
Words and Music: Cleland B. McAfee, 1866 – 1944

“Be still and know that I am God”....that’s the wonder of a place like this….taking the time to settle down and practice His presence…to be aware that all is not rush, rush, rush! This is a lovely thought provoking shot. Well done :-)
