Shut In With God -- Instrumental Hymn

Shut In With God is a hymn by an unknown author, about waiting on the Lord. We added some new verses. Waiting on the Lord is very important. It's where we learn how to quiet our own minds and begin to hear His voice and learn of Him. Mary learned this. Martha was busy doing a lot of things but Mary sat at Jesus' feet and listened to Him. Jesus practiced this Himself; many times He got away from the crowd and went into a lonely place to pray and learn of the Father.

Shut in with God in a secret place
There in the Spirit beholding Your face
Gaining new power to run in the race
I love to be shut in with God.

Shut in with God in a secret place
Able to enter and stay by Your grace.
Gazing intently into Your face
I love to be shut in with God.

Shut in with God in a secret place
Just You and me in our own private space
Where I can listen and sit at Your feet
How wonderful when we can meet!

Shut in with God far away from the crowd
Away from the tumult, the talking so loud.
Nobody sees us and nobody knows
It's here that my love for You grows.
