Lyrics
Our Quiet Time
In the sweet hour of our quiet time, we long to know Communion.
And we hear from God on the condition of our mortal home?
?Always so lonely, but never alone.?
Shine a light in our quiet time.
In the warm hour of our quiet time we thirst for sweet reunion.
I?m longing to fly into the Rapture on a tropical day.
Off on vacation, and floating away.
Shine a light on our Hawaiian time.
Makahiki me akua, Our Hawaiian time.
In the late hour of our quiet time, back home from sweet Communion.
Returning once more to the condition of our mortal home?
?Always so lonely, but never alone.?
Shine a light in our quiet time.
