'Secret Place' Poem by Linda Winchell

Get to a quiet and secret place
Where you and God…can be all alone.
Sharing what is in your heart
And the Lord God… will there make His home.

Residing in the center of your chest
Like a fire burning…deep inside.
There is where the Holy Spirit will live
In your heart… He shall reside.

Be alone with God… your thoughts to share
With the one… who understands.
He’s always there waiting to hear your prayers
Next to you… He always stands.

Kneel down… begging God’s forgiveness
Totally surrendering… completely to His mercy and grace.
And then my friend…only then…
Will you see Him… in your secret place.
