My Journey Through The Dark Valley – Day 16

My Song For This Day:

Lord, I have shut the door,
Speak now the word
Which in the din and throng
Could not be heard;
Hushed now my inner heart,
Whisper Thy will,
While I have come apart,
While all is still.

Lord, I have shut the door,
Here do I bow;
Speak, for my soul attent
Turns to Thee now;
Rebuke Thou what is vain,
Counsel my soul,
Thy holy will reveal,
My will control.

In this blest quietness
Clamorings cease;
Here in Thy presence dwells
Infinite peace;
Yonder, the strife and cry,
Yonder, the sin:
Lord, I have shut the door,
Thou art within!

Lord, I have shut the door,
Strengthen my heart;
Yonder awaits the task—
I share a part;
Only through grace bestowed
May I be true;
Here, while alone with Thee,
My strength renew.

William M. Runyan, 1923

Lord, This alone time with You gets me ready to face the day.

I need this quiet space – knowing that as I go about my day – You go with me.
