Abba's Dearly Beloved

Yield yourself time and space to be
Rest then a while and you will see
The fog dispersed of yesterdays regret
and the evaporation of tomorrows fret

Here and unshrouded your mind's view will assess
The home of true worth in Christ, will in you manifest
At the sound of His voice who caused the Red Sea to part
Every unwelcome burden's weight from you will depart

In the quiet glade of the Saviour's shade despair will disappear
Can you hear His song of quieting love stilling the most restless fear
The wandering soul shown again where its true value is to be found 
Wrapped up in nail scarred arms of love where hope is fully crowned 

The violent torrent of life's choppy waters, gives way to the gentle stream
Of the presence of Christ who loves you most where peace reigns supreme
So tarry a while and soak in the gentle flow of this divine love that sets you free
For fully known and loved you are by the one who took your place at Calvary
