InÝ this Little Room

In this little room of mine, this place within my heart

Is a sanctuary out of time where all my thoughts are set apart.

Here within this special place the door's flung open wide

So I can greet Christ face to face as he bids me come inside.

In this secret sacred sanctuary

In intimate communion with God's will

I will go there often and will tarry

I will know the meaning of "be still."

In this little room of mine, it's safe and secure there

Nothing to distract I find- the walls are clean and bare.

Here is my Gethsemane, this is my sacred place

This is where I am set free as I fall upon my face

In this secret sacred sanctuary

In intimate communion with God's will

I will go there often and will tarry

I will know the meaning of "be still."

Now as in this world I walk, part of my soul shall hide

In the inner sanctum where we talk as with Christ I abide

A quiet conversation's heard between my Lord and me

The ears of my heart hears each word,Ý the eyes of my heart see.

In this secret sacred sanctuary

In intimate communion with God's will

I will go there often and will tarry

I will know the meaning of "be still."
