Hide me in your secret place; let your strength become my fare, Entering deep within my soul, absorbing all my care.  Let me dwell in times of trouble, in the shadow of your wing, Safe in your protective arms, that, to you, my heart can sing.  For you’ve known each joy and sorrow, my desires and every thought, Each victory my life has known and all the battles I have fought.  When no man can know my trouble or the burdens that I bear, Hide me in your secret place, for I know I’ll meet you there.Read More →
