Safe Space

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]
Perfect safety at the side
of our God, if you’ll abide
in that blessed place, no pride –
space for all from fears to hide.
Safe because his ‘eyes’ see all,
safe because he hears my call,
an impregnably strong wall
keeps sheep safe from lion’s maul.
Buffeted but not destroyed,
in our Maker’s work employed,
guided, follies to avoid,
such encouragement enjoyed.
As you struggle in this place,
know his constant firm embrace,
drink supplies – sufficient grace
’till reach danger-free ‘home-base’.
Tune: 77 77

Be Thou my vision
'Perfect safety at the side

know his constant firm embrace,'
Very nice Rhiannon! Glad you're still keeping the hymns for Sundays series up!

“Be Thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight, Be Thou my armor and be Thou my might
Thou my soul shelter, and Thy my high tower, raise Thou me heavenwards, oh power of my power
“Be Thou my vision, oh Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me, save that Thy art”

The Armour of God
I looked up your verses Rhiannon they are in Paul's letter to the Ephesians, Chapter 6.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God
Keep well! Good night! Nolan &&
