From the Secret Place


From the secret place of the Most High
Love came down and now draws nigh
To draw us to His Holy place
To work in us a faith by grace.

The God shaped void we ponder
Our restless souls shall wander
As  goes the void so goes our peace
Until we find our rest in Thee

Deepest love
Highest Praise
Mystery  reveals
God's Wisest ways
Wrapped up in an infant child
Love and justice reconciled
Emmanuel we place our trust
In the God who is with us.

From beyond the vale of time
The seed that will become  the Vine
Ancient of Days in a manger lies
Now men  know the God who cries.

Deepest love
Highest Praise
Mystery  reveals
God's Wisest ways
Wrapped up in an infant child
Love and justice reconciled
Emmanuel we place our trust
In the God who is with us.
