A Place

To find the place where peace,
still is the greatest and all pains cease.
To find comfort in things that seem unfair
 where emotions are needing care.

To find the wings to hide under
to ride out the storms of life.
This place where I am drawn
where all the anguish finally is removed
from my soul.

I will seek your face and find this place.
In the valley between death and life 
where you will meet me and comfort me.
I will find the strength and healing.
In a place that is close to you Lord.
