Covered by His righteousness alone <br />Hidden under the wings of His love <br />I find my protection and persistence <br />And thus layer by layer being purged <br />And this pruning and refining work <br />Here embarked to bid riddance to <br />This pile of dirt I hate to behold <br />This unsavory sight I can’t tolerate <br />Here to be excised and cleansed duly <br />And to present me before His face <br />Clothed in His righteousness alone <br />That I may withstand His refulgence <br />For all my best intentions and efforts <br />At my purest and most honest work <br />Are still but filthy rags before Him<br /><br />Oyekake Satty Joshua<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-hiding-place-2/
