Within this place set apart, isolated,
A place set apart, a living prayer closet,
a carpeted room, a space enclosed,
within the embrace, the arms of the cedars,
where I enter into prayer, into worship.
A hedge of protection, hidden,
A circle of sorts, a cathedral,
a natural enclosure, alive,
where I can pray, meditate,
where I can commune with God.

A place set apart, a living prayer closet,
a carpeted room, a space enclosed,
within the embrace, the arms of the cedars,
where I enter into prayer, into worship.
A circle of sorts, a cathedral,
a natural enclosure, alive,
where I can pray, meditate,
where I can commune with God.
