God is in this quiet silent space
This semi darkness early morning light
Where flickering flame in sanctuary
Beckons to my face
Come close come quiet
Where your feet alight
This holy house
In morning darkness warm
Embraces me with holy incense charm
And tabernacled Lord
All presence here
Invites to reverence
Have no doubt no fear
The holy truth I found on Tyldesley Road
In Hindsford church
So quiet long ago
Is gone from there
The place all shuttered closed
Where do I find him now?
The one true Lord
I find him
Whenever I turn to pray
When in the silence say hello good day
I find him now
In thinking of that time
When just a boy
And learning how to rhyme
I stepped into that little house of prayer
And saw the flame the candle glow
And there
Upon the altar robed in cloth of green
A tabernacle
Home to God unseen
