Where Time Stands Still

A Sacred Refuge in the Eternal Presence of God

By Bongani MahlanguPublished about a year ago 1 min read

**Where Time Stands Still**

Beneath the canopy of endless skies,

Where golden sunlight never dies,

A whisper lingers, soft and chill—

This sacred place where time stands still.

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,

no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him”.

The world fades out, its weight resigned,

Eternity lives in a quiet mind.

Each breath a prayer, each thought a flame,

Calling out a holy name.

The winds speak truths the heart can feel,

In this domain where time stands still.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures”.

Reflections dance on the water’s face,

Echoes of grace in this timeless space.

Here, burdens fall, like autumn leaves,

And peace is sewn as the soul believes.

The hand of God, so strong, so real,

Holds gently where time stands still.

No need for words, no need for fear,

For love eternal whispers near.

In this quiet, the heart’s fulfilled—

This holy ground is where time stands still.
