Hide Me
Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings.
Psalm 17:8
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
Genesis 3:8-9
For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.
Psalm 27:5
Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy. Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the plots of evildoers. They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
Psalm 64:1-3
Rescue me from my enemies, Lord, for I hide myself in you.
Psalm 143:9
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
Colossians 3:2-4
Hidden
by Audrey Frank
Part One
The sound of my name
Rustled the leaves
Heavy with dew
Drops fell in answer
To Your voice.
Kindness called out to me
Light through the tree boughs
Warmed me
Invited me
To answer.
Patience waited for me
Remained in the clearing
Steadfast, present
Until I had courage
To emerge.
The One who is my Hiding Place
Drew me out of hiding
Released me from shame
Into the embrace
Of His strong arms.
Shame has no more hold on me
Alone is not my destiny
Silence is not my pedigree
Fear is not my company
Jesus honored me.
Part Two
Now when I need to run and hide,
He conceals me by His wounded side;
In the shadow of His wings I bide,
The apple of His eye.
Assailed by danger all around,
Running, running to the sound,
Of His voice in the trees;
My Lord He hides and shelters me.
Barraged by words unkind and false,
I search for the silhouette of the Cross,
Beneath its comforting shadow lie;
Hide me, hold me, while I cry.
Set my thoughts on things above;
Keep me in the Savior’s love;
I have died and I’m now hidden,
With Christ in God, all glory given.
On that day we’ll both appear,
Fully known,
Completely clear;
No more hiding,
No more pain,
No more sorrow,
No more shame.
Hide me in the shelter of Your wings, O God who has brought me out of hiding. #refuge #safe Click To Tweet
