I will give you treasures hidden in darkness – secret riches.
I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord
(Isaiah 45:3; NLT).
1. When I sit alone, Lord God,
To register my thoughts,
I face, at last,
My suffering, within.
2. When I sit in silence, Lord,
To ponder all I’ve said,
I glimpse, at last,
My enemy, within.
3. When I sit in stillness, Lord,
To weigh up all I’ve done,
I see, at last,
My sinfulness, within.
4. When I sit in darkness, Lord,
To contemplate my life,
I find, at last,
Your presence, deep within.
