The Secret Place

I rise in the morningness
Driven by compassion till noonday's break
All that I know is that is that I'm forever blessed
In this my secret place
And as the day yet dawns
The son goes but yet to rise again I praise Him
In my mind 
In this, this is
My Secret place
I give praise as I go to the sanctuary to the proverbs of my mind
a secret place
No not ashamed for I will always speak
As the Lord calls and places His lips on my cheek
His name but I confess Jesus
My savior my blessedness
But just right now I solemn in
The Secret place
In Christ Jesus there is no shame
In Him I'm born again
In this, this is
My Secret place
I give praise as I go to the sanctuary to the proverbs of my mind
a secret place
I give praise as I go to the sanctuary to the proverbs of my mind
A secret place
No not ashamed for I will always speak
As the Lord calls and places His lips on my cheek
And as the day yet dawns
The son goes but yet to rise again I praise Him
In my mind 
In this, this is
My Secret place
