Lord, You are my Hiding Place <br />In this remote cave of solitude, <br />As my soul gropes in empty space, <br />And I thirst for inner fortitude. <br /> <br />Like Elijah, I am in hiding, <br />And I fear the howling winds of life, <br />The violent earthquake of losing <br />That shatters my hopes like a knife. <br /> <br />In the strong winds, You are not there <br />Neither are You in the fierce earthquake, <br />But You come in a quiet whisper, <br />With loving care, my soul You take. <br /> <br />You cradle me with Your assurance <br />Like a newborn in his mother's arms, <br />'My child, there will be no circumstance <br />I will ever leave you to Harm. <br /> <br />You are the apple of My eye, <br />And you are My treasured possession, <br />My Son ransomed you when He died <br />On Calvary's Cross, at Crucifixion. <br /> <br />As My child you have My Spirit <br />To assure that I'm always with you- <br />He is an Eternal Deposit, <br />To guide you and your strength renew. <br /> <br />You know I will never leave you <br />And I promised I will not forsake, <br />All My promises will hold you through <br />And light the path your life will take.' <br /> <br />So in absolute surrender, <br />In quiet trust I lay at Your Feet, <br />I'm thankful that You are my Potter, <br />When life is over we will meet. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />'You are my hiding place, You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.' <br /> <br />Psalm 32: 7 <br /> <br /> <br />......................................................................................... <br />April 2,2009 Tarlac City Philippines<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/whispered-assurance/
