Early in the dark, while the world still sleeps You slipped away, to the place where silence speaks No crowd, no noise, just You and the Father above In the solitary place, You found perfect love Take me to the solitary place Where the heart can breathe, where the soul can face You alone, just You and me In the quiet, I find I’m free Like Jesus, I come to be still In Your presence, my heart is filled In the rush of life, the voices never cease But You showed the way to find Your perfect peace Step away from the crowd, let the world fade behind In the lonely place, Your presence I find No more running, no more hiding away I choose the quiet, where I hear You say My child, come rest, come be with Me In the solitary place, you’ll truly see Take me to the solitary place Where the heart can breathe, where the soul can face You alone, just You and me In the quiet, I find I’m free Like Jesus, I come to be still In Your presence, my heart is filled (Music and Lyrics by Jennifer Leigh Nelson © 2026 Cajora Creations, LLC.
