This Poem was also recorded as a song by the Sojourners.

In The Stillness Of The Morning
 
In the stillness of the morning,
Far away from all the noise
I feel the peace enfold me,
As I listen for His voice
 
It flows down from the mountain
And across the crystal lake
It understands no barrier
As my tension it seeks to take
 
It steals me from my anger
And puts my mind at ease
And I'm aware of nothing except
This still, small, quiet peace
 
It moves me beyond the words
I watch flow from my pen
And I feel a certain gratitude;
This peace is my best friend.
 
I do all I can to protect it
And I cherish the time we share
And as I watch the sun come up,
It's for peace I say a prayer
 
Oh Lord, please give to everyone
Who is going through some pain
A portion of this joy within;
May peace forever reign!
