When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Matthew 6:6

Shut in with God alone,
I spend the quiet hour;
His mercy and His love I own,
And seek His saving power.
Shut in with God alone,
In meditation sweet,
My spirit waits before the throne,
Bowed low at Jesus’ feet.
Shut in with God alone,
I praise His holy name,
Who gave the Savior to atone
For all my sin and shame.
Shut in with God alone,
And yet I have no fear;
I rest beneath the cleansing blood,
And perfect love is there.
