"A Place of Quiet Rest" by

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

About Phil Thomson IPA

I often stand in awe and admire the beauty of God’s Creation. The colours, textures, tones and shapes,especially the way the light falls and reflects, thus revealing things often overlooked, particularly during the grandeur of a sunrise or sunset, or the spectacle of a rainbow.
I really just want to try and capture and share some of what I see as “The Creator’s Handiwork”.

    “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 :-)
