Quiet times: a song reimagined by sister rochelle weatherspoon

11/5/2025

Shalom YAH Family,

I listen to music 75% of the day, I was born into music so to speak, I've been singing since I was 4 yrs. old in church (Sunshine band) whether I'm listening to gospel, jazz, R&B, soft rock, pop, alternative (SEB eclectic), hip hop, gospel rap, techno, classical (meditation music for me), country and any songs I wrote (one thing at a time, lol!).

I'm inspired to rewrite other songs to make it fit my ear gate. Here, I'm rewriting a classic gospel song I led in church choir, my Sisterhood have heard what I have written on several occasions, now I'm sharing on Yahshua Blog, here it goes!

May you be blessed by it

Quiet Times (rewritten by Sister Rochelle)

It's those Quiet Times, Quiet Times
They are so precious to me,
That's when YOU tell me those secret things and all you want me to be
In those quiet times, quiet times
Alone together just you and me
That's when I tell you that I love you, then Yahweh you
remind me that you love me too
Together there ain't nothin' I can't do

They (the world) can't take them away from me no, no
They can't take them away from me

Quiet Times, Quiet Times

Day or night it's alright with me
Doubts and fears always disappears just bc you're so
near
Those Quiet Times, Quiet Times

They put that sparkle back in my eyes
They are precious days in my life, everyday I spend with you,
Yahweh's gentle touch that I love sooo much- it pulls me through
So when I tell you I love you
Yahweh you remind me that you love me too
Together there ain't nothin' that I can't do

They (world) can't take them away from me, oh no
They can't take them away from me...Quiet Times!

HalleluYAH! ❤️🙏👌👌

Shalom, Sister Rochelle. I like how you repurposed this "Christian" song into a Yahweh worship song. That's exactly what we are supposed to do--reclaim the presence of Yahweh and Yahshua on the earth.

This is the same spirit of Gideon when he tore down the altar of Baal to then replace it with a new alter to Yahweh (Judges 6:25-28). Now that's what I'm talking about 🤣🤣🤣Get all of that Gentile religious mess outta here and replace it with Yahweh Elohim and Yahshua only. Good stuff.

Stay blessed; stay ready. Now, let's go save the world.

Shalom Servant Emannu'el,

First, I want to thank you for your choice of material that was sent to you, lol! As I have mentioned before, I listen to a LOT of music, it's like breathing to me, yes I repurpose basic songs all to the Glory of Yahweh OUR Elohim and Yahshua the TRUE Messiah!

Secondly, I'm grateful that YOU find value in whatever message Yahweh inspires me to convey or places in my spirit as well as YOU putting blogs/music on "Emannu'el's 'Ark of Salvation' as instructed/directed by Yahweh Elohim! It's truly an honor I don't take lightly! Be on the lookout for more material and other songs I repurposed as well as several (notebooks) songs I wrote with music in my head, lol!

Lastly, I am going to do my part of tearing down "that gentile religious mess outta here" on top of replacing every evil and unrighteous name! Praise YAH for YOU!
HalleluuuYAH indeed❣️ 🙌🏽👍🏼✌🏽

Sister Rochelle, your song is truly soothing. It is what I need as I engage with legal matters following my mother's passing. Probating the will, seeing that these creditors also known as Caesar to use Spike Lee's words "get paid". After all, Yahshua did say, render unto Caesar, the things that are due Caesar's and to Yahweh the things that are due Yahweh's. Miracle is that the lights were on and the gas was on and the water still runs. Music, I always listened to especially when as a child I got to Savannah. I still remember the pink clock radio with the alarm my mother had in the apartment where we lived. As Sophia from the Golden Girls would say, "picture it". The exterior of the apartment was pink. We are talking 1958,1959, 1960 and 1961.What tunes did I hear? The Boll Weevil Song,- Brook Benton, What A Difference A Day Makes - Dinah Washington, The Party's Over, It's Time To Call It A Day- Vocalist Unknown. I had a portable record player and would play 78's. Kansas City Woman by Chick Willis, I Can't Love You Enough by Lavern Baker. As an only child I was left to amuse myself. Later when mother and I moved into a housing project, she purchased a Silvertone Stereo from Sears. On it when she was at work, I played the albums she had which I still got. Stan Kenton, George Shearing, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles. I always enjoyed the duet he and Betty Carter did "Baby It's Cold Outside". Later, I would hear on our local radio station WSOK, Otis Redding, "They Call Me Mister Pitiful". Tunes by Sam Cooke, Motown material, somewhere around my house is an album by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles with a tune I always liked " What's So Good About Goodbye". They had another one which is a favorite, "You Really Got A Hold On Me". I would listen to gospel music on the radio, whether it is the Five Blind Boys of Alabama, The Dixie Hummingbirds, Mahalia Jackson especially " How I Got Over". I heard she was considered the Queen of Gospel and James Cleveland " I Don't Feel No Ways Tired" was considered the King of Gospel. Ooh goodness and mercy mercy me this reply is taking on a life of its own. I am at the public library in Riverdale, Georgia and got to put a pin on this. Sister Rochelle, you keep on keeping on . Don't Stop! Forward Ever! Backward Never! Who is Sister Rochelle, she is someone who truly makes a difference (move over Dinah Washington) on every voyage, the Ark takes. This has been a Brother Ivan "Yeah I said it moment". I'll look forward to the next one Sister Rochelle.

Shalom Brother Ivan,

Sorry I hadn't responded sooner, I am going to have to check everyday for comments, minding my manners, so to speak! I absolutely loved going down memory lane with songs that were 'tickling' my recall for the very special song, "What A Difference A Day Makes...24 little hours" performed by Dinah Washington, bc WE can do great things in 24 hours, for instance spending time with Father Yahweh and getting to know special people like YOU! I will "keep on keeping on", I WILL NOT STOP, Forward EVER, Backwards NEVER, Onward and Upward FOREVER❣️ Yes, I said it, lol❣️ Praise YAH for YOU❣️🙌🏽 I love you my Brother❣️ 🙌🏽👏🏽✌🏽
