The Way of the Heart

In solitude, with the Son of God,

Solidifies that we are flawed;
In the furnace, we face
False identities we've forged
Significance, magnificence
And influence, 
Must come from the Lord;
As we focus on 
Our Saviour's face,
We can face our true selves 
Through His healing grace;
We are purified 
In this place of salvation;
Compassion flows 
After transformation;
One with Christ, 
Eyes of mercy, we share
To step into darkness, 
With God's light to flare;
In quietness and trust,
The Spirit's flame will glow
So to wayward wanderers 
God's love is seen and known;

Through silence we will

Still the clashing gong

And hear the voice of Him

Who speaks the waters calm;

Commune with Christ,

Who dwells within;

Speak truth and come

To rest with Him;

He knows our needs 

Before we pray;

His presence guides

Throughout the day;

Praise God from whom 

All blessings flow,

Unceasingly,

As rivers flow; 

Stand firm in prayer

And there proclaim 

Hope for wholeness 

In Jesus’ name
