A Solitary Place

SALLY FORTH

Jesus rose in the morning;
He rose to pray.
He rose in the darkness,
Before it was day,
In the calm of the desert
Alone to seek
Help for the suffering,
Strength for the weak.
For the sick and the sinner
To intercede,
To comfort the sorrowing,
The hungry to feed.
Alone in the desert
The truth to declare,
Love ever present,
Love everywhere.
