A Shadow Descends ~

A shadow follows me,
wherever I may go . . .
I see its silhouette
upon morning’s glow.

It shrouds me,
in my Father’s light
it changes not a bit
from day to night.

A shadow falls on me,
from a secret place
from where it comes
back to heaven I trace.

It blankets me,
with wings of love
mercifully spread
by my Father above.

A shadow descends,
a silhouette I see
I know it is God . . .
watching over me!

Psalm 91:1

He that dwelleth in the secret place
of the most High shall abide under
the shadow of the Almighty.

Psalm 57:1

Be merciful unto me, O God,
be merciful unto me: for my
soul trusteth in thee: yea,
in the shadow of thy wings
will I make my refuge,
until these calamities be
overpast.

That Secret Place ~

I found that sweet spot,
where with God I can be
I found when I’m there
He too is there with me.

I found that place of peace,
where to God I can pray
I found when I’m there
we have so much to say.

I found that niche of hope,
where with God I’m alone
I found when I’m there
there is no real time zone.

I found that nook of stillness,
where with God I converse
I found when I’m there
in quietude I’m immersed.

I found that secret place,
where with God I can be
I found when I’m there . . .
He dwells there too with me!

My Secret Place ~

In that secret place,
is where I long to dwell
it’s when with my soul
all is quiet and well.

Underneath the shadow,
of God’s love and grace
it’s where my heart finds
a quiet resting place.

With the most High,
is where I yearn to be
it’s when in my mind
a calm settles in me.

With the Almighty,
in unmoved solitude
is where I find God’s
merciful quietude.

In that secret place,
is where with God I find
true peace and stillness
for my heart and mind!

That Secret Place ~

I asked God . . .
where is that secret place
the one where I can find
sufficient is Your grace?

He said to me . . .
it’s right  inside of you
but you must learn to trust Me
in everything you do.

He took me to my knees,
and I poured out my heart
letting go of everything
that was keeping us apart.

I wept, I cried, I prayed,
for Him to never leave
then I heard Him whisper . . .
it’s you, who needs to cleave.

He gave me the strength,
to rise again to my feet
and said prayer is the secret place
where we can always meet!

Why My Heart Sings ~

My heart shall not tremble,
though I have my fear . . .
my heart shall not shake
for my God, is always near.

My spirit calls on His name,
searches for His face
my spirit takes its cover
in the arms of grace.

My soul shall find rest,
as it learns how to soar
my soul shall be blessed
with His mercy evermore.

I shall trust in the Lord,
His strength I will seek
I shall trust in His power
to help when I’m weak.

To eternity I will abide,
under His mighty wings
forever with Him I’ll dwell
tis . . why my heart sings!

His Faithful ~

He lives inside of you,
in that secret place
where His faithful go
to seek His loving face.

He sits upon the throne,
of the faithful at heart
there’s no where they go
where He is not a part.

He dwells in the recesses,
and corners of the mind
where His faithful know
His strength they will find.

He reigns in the souls,
of those who are faithful
He knows that in all things
to Him they are grateful.

He offers a safe haven,
for His faithful to find rest
He knows they need a refuge
a time to feel blessed.

He abides in the secret places,
of the faithful and true
the shadow of the Almighty
is under ~ all that they do!
