THE BRANCHES' EXPERIENCE
We feel this poem expresses the Branches' Experience
INTO THE QUIET
INTO THE QUIET
I needed the quiet, He drew me aside,
Into nature, where I could confide.
Away from the hustle, away from the stress,
Into nature, where I could rest.
_____
I needed the quiet, He told me to go,
Into His spirit, so I can grow.
And He whispered so gently, His gift of peace,
Into His spirit, His love will never cease.
_____
I needed the quiet, He led me there,
Into this place, where I felt His care.
He called me so sweetly, so I did abide,
He knew I needed the quiet, He knew to pull me aside.
