Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: John 14:27 Lyrics: 1 In the quiet of this day,
in the safety of this place,
Holy Presence, hear me pray,
soothe my spirit with your peace.
2 Take the tangle of my thought,
take the tension from my frame,
free within me what is fraught,
still the waves I cannot tame.
3 I am tired and out of tune:
it is you who gives new song.
I am fearful and alone:
bring me home where I belong.
4 What I am, you truly know,
more than lover, more than friend,
you the light to whom I grow,
you my meaning and my end.
