Safe in the Shadow

Leaving today for the N.J. Family Life retreat....we return on Friday and will be at Star Lake for Warren and Jody's wedding.
God is good and faithful!
I will leave you with this poem that I have been thinking about today.

SAFE IN THE SHADOW

No fig leaf large enough to conceal my shame;
No bush wide enough to hide my pain;
No rock big enough to crawl beneath;
No pit deep enough to hold my grief.

Only one tree can protect me,
Only one tree where salvation is free.
It is at that tree that I want to be,
It's shadow of protection over me.

I want to run, I want to hide
Beneath Your wings, close by Your side.
Straight to the cross of Calvary,
Oh, cast that shadow over me - the shadow of my Savior's tree.

He is enough to hide my shame;
He is enough to take my pain;
He is the rock that I stand on;
He lifts me up - my grief is gone!

I want to run, I want to hide
Beneath Your wings, close by Your side.
Straight to the cross of Calvary,
Oh, cast that shadow over me - the shadow of my Savior's tree.
