In the Shadow of His Wings

"I will sing in the shadow of your wings.  My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me." (Ps. 63:7-8)

Tonight, I was revisiting my Bible Study, Living Beyond Yourself, by Beth Moore, and I was struck by this poem.

 

The Company I keep

Let me be known by the company I keep,  By the one who determines each day that I greet,

From the moment I wake, til He rocks me to sleep.   Let me be known by the company I keep!

 

Let me be known by the company I keep, when the valleys are low and the mountains are steep.

By the One who holds fast, when swift waters are deep,   Let me be known by the company I keep!

 

Let me be known by the company I keep,  By the One who implores me to sit at His feet. 

And quickens my soul to discern what is deep,  Let me be known by the company I keep!

 

Let me be known by the company I keep,  Eclipsed by your presence that I may decrease,

Til all you have chosen this traveler to meet,  No longer see me, but the company I keep.

 

"You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you."  (Isa.23:6)

 

  Father, help me to cast my cares at Your feet,  crawl up under Your Everlasting arms and find rest.  For You alone, Oh Lord, make me dwell in perfect peace.
