In Praise of Solitude

Have you a place of solitude

Where a quiet time is found?

A place where you can start the day

While peace and love surrounds?

Where you praise God for His blessings

And thank Him for His Son?

You will want to thank Him, too,

For a day that’s well begun



Can you find a moment just to pause

When the day is at its height?

Tell the Lord you appreciate

All the things that came out right?

For, praises in the morning and

A little talk with Him

Bring to you a noontime

That is blest time and again!



Can you stop to watch the sunset

And to let a star appear ~

To contemplate they’ve done their jobs

For many, many years?

To remember that God knows each name ~

Every star and planet ~

He spoke their orbit in the sky

When there was nothing in it!



Oh, come He calls so gently

In the morning light;

Again you’ll hear Him say your name

At noontime and at night;

He longs so for our company

And puts on it no limits ~

Far more than King or Prince He waits

For you to find a minute!
