I have a longing to spend more time
In places of silence where I can find
Peace for my soul, rest for my mind
Escape the madness of life

Oh I need a sanctuary
Where I can just be, where I can find peace
Patiently wait in the silence and listen
And hear what You´re trying to say to me

And I have been weary, I have felt weak
And I know these burdens belong at Your feet
When will I lay down, when can I sleep,
And rest in Your love for me?

Oh I need a sanctuary
Where I can just be, where I can find peace
Patiently wait in the silence and listen
And hear what You´re trying to say to me

Why, why, why
Can it be so hard to find
Peace for my soul, rest in this life
A moment where all seems right

Oh I need a sanctuary
Where I can just breathe, where I can find peace
Patiently wait in the silence and listen
And hear what You´re trying to say to me

I need a sanctuary
Where I can just be, where I can find peace
Patiently wait in the silence and listen
And hear what You´re trying to say to me
