Tune: Louvan
('Lord of all being, throned afar')
Psalm 17 v.5-8
*******
Hold up my steps, Lord, in your ways
Help me to follow all my days
So shall I slip not, persevere
Trusting you with me, always near
I have called on you, you will hear
Incline your ear, hear my prayer clear
Show me your marvellous mercy
Your loving-kindness unto me
You are He who does save by your
Right hand them which trust you for sure
You save them from those that do rise
Against them with oppression, lies
Keep me as apple of your eye
Look on me and not pass me by
Hide me 'neath shadow of your wings
So then safe, my soul to you sings

'Hide me 'neath show of your wings

I think this lines encapsulates perfectly, the whole point of having faith and choosing to believe and take comfort-in - something/anything, that exists beyond the validity of our physical or logical senses,
wonderful
Thanks LB. Oops, I have amended it to 'shadow'. Notice the poetic " 'neath" there? lol. Well, I ran out of syllables.
Miss Berles has got some to spare.
Thanks M. Glad Miss Berles can help out too, with some syllables.
These words had a nice feel Orchidee and of course we can all use a bit of extra help now n again, can’t we ...... 👍. 😎
Where did ya poem go today?! Thanks N.
Beautiful Hymn Orchidee.
Really captures the spirit of David pleas
The pause of the last line in first verse I read it as 'trust you with me'. That had a powerful
Feeling of true faith and safety in God
Thanks Gavin.
