                   The Invitation

"Come away.
Come with Me,
Let Me lead you
To the secret place."

We say to Him,
"Oh Father,
Here I am.
Draw me,
Into your secret place."

"Come", He bids,
"Let the wall fall down.
Relax with Me,
In the secret place."

"Oh Father,
This is too good.
Almost unbelievable,
The Love that flows,
In the secret place."

"I have drawn you here,
My Child.
Tenderly, gently,
I have drawn you
Into the secret place."

There is a place,
A secret place,
Where the Love
Of God is flowing.

He is there.
He has always been,
Waiting for us to come,
To the secret place
With Him.

It is the place,
Where healing flows
A never-ending river
Of pure holy Love.
