in the quiet

In the quiet I come to you

I find strength to start anew

Breathing out and breathing in

In the quiet I come to you

I find stillness in the storm

Despite the struggles all around

A sabbath rest – take time to pause

In the stillness I come home

In the dawn I come to you

Past the piper’s haunting tune

Morning creeping from the east

In the dawn I come to you

You raise my head – you lift my heart

every day another start

You meet us in the simple things

In the quiet where we begin

In the quiet I come to you

I find strength to start anew

Breathing out and breathing in

In the quiet I come to you
