I was looking for songs for my Sunday School class... these sound very interesting.  I sing some of them during devotion services.  
I am a Sunday School teacher and deaconess in a Baptist Church
 
I use " Center Of My Soul"... it is truly beautiful.  Also " Abba Father", " Bringing The Presence Of Jesus", " Holy, Holy, Holy" and  " Open My Eyes".

(Cora,  from Massachusetts)

From 1986 to 1993, Rev. Wayne Anderson led a series
of spiritual intimacy seminars at Crossroads. 
Among the topics covered were  "Abba Father"
"Grace, Faith and Focus" and "Silence, Solitude and Prayer". 
This song, and many others, were inspired by those teachings.

First verse written during a Wayne Anderson seminar.
The second verse was written 9/29/89
while driving through Ashland MA.
