-The Secret Place- (Prayer)
by Bryan MilesIn the secret place I came to You
In my closet near a dusty shoe
Shutting out the world I closed the door
In the darkness seated on the floor
It was finally quiet enough to hear
Your silent whisper in my ear
I talked to you for quite some time
Sweaters and shirts would sway and climb
Around my neck, and tousle my hair
But I kept my mind on You, and prayer
Twisting a hanger on the floor
You talked to me, I know for sure
Resting in the secret place
Your mercy shined upon my face
I saw a child running down a hill
To soak his feet in waters still
A calming breeze brought a white balloon
Its string wrapped 'round my fingers soon
And on that balloon, Your Name in red
"Jesus loves you," is what it said
Then through the keyhole shining bright
A most miraculous stream of light
"Found you dad," four voices said
"Thought you were underneath the bed!"
I opened up my arms this WIDE
Knowing Your hand let them inside
My secret place, where I realized
We all are children in Your eyes
I got up off the closet floor
My heart still on its knees, I'm sure
Straight from my heart I talked to You
In my closet near a dusty shoe....
