I need a gentle place,
Where I can let go;
I need a gentle place,
Where life moves slow.

I need to feel the arms of God,
Surround me all the day;
I need His reassurance
I'm living life His way.

The days are sometimes hard,
My heart can often break;
It's then a gentle place,
Shows me His love's not fake.

The pains that are in life,
Can really bring me down;
But then my gentle place,
Can make a smile of my frown.

God is in my gentle place,
He always calms my fears;
I know that I can trust Him,
To get me through the years.
