Come and Find the Quiet Centre

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit Praise and Invocation Lyrics: 1 Come and find the quiet centre in the crowded life we lead, find the room for hope to enter, find the frame where we are freed: clear the chaos and the clutter, clear our eyes, that we can see all the things that really matter, be at peace, and simply be. 2 Silence is a friend who claims us, cools the heat and slows the pace, God it is who speaks and names us, knows our being, face to face, making space within our thinking, lifting shades to show the sun, raising courage when we're shrinking, finding scope for faith begun. 3 In the Spirit let us travel, open to each other's pain, let our loves and fears unravel, celebrate the space we gain: there's a place for deepest dreaming, there's a time for heart to care, in the Spirit's lively scheming there is always room to spare!

Break, morn of God, upon our eyes; and let the world's true Sun arise! Scripture: Matthew 12:8 Used With Tune: GERMANY
