In-Tent-Ion
I will dwell in security
because the arms of your salvation
have embraced me
higher than the mountains peaks
is the persuasion of your kindnesses
you could see my need
I was cast down , lost and alone
yet you coaxed me
with the tender Words
the soft expressions of comfort
when I was afraid
you sheltered me
with the towers of your strength
a fortification built upon the foundations of your truth
gave me warmth
beside your fires
nourished me with affections
bathed me with your attentions
and clothed me with the declarations of your Love
Their abundance overflows they have spilled
upon dust and brought forth life
You have made me radiant
with its splendor
The reflections of your heart
are mirrored in their beauty
I am drawn forth to follow their footsteps
pad lightly towards its likenesses
until I can return
the same folding of expressions
The espousals of your favor
the betrothal of your regard
all of them your undeserved kindnesses
the rain of which causes a desert
to bloom its delicate buds
caressed by your intense cultivations
For you planted the seeds
sent forth your gentle rains
nurtured the vines of planting
brought forth the clusters of fruit
given birth to joy here to fore unknown
I shall be forever grateful
the only place I will call home
for this , My Love ,
You will ever
have my praises
I am bound by their promises
held by its cords
faith in its loyalty
engaged with hope
and the fervor of Loves
and the Words of God found in Christ Jesus
no scriptures yet I never get then until after
things get written.....
