To: *From Monica*
Oh, that I had wings like a dove
For then I would hasten to fly;
Like a child, I would flee to my far away home
To escape the threat of this impending storm.
Had I the favor I would surely take wing,
For like a mischievous child, I have wandered astray.
Far away from the reach of harm,
But too far I have drifted, I am lost and afraid,
Lord, deliver me from the midst of harm's way.
Had I wings of the mourning dove on which to fly
To the safety of Your awaiting arms, I would glide.
It is but a hopeless feat to fly on my own.
I've wandered too far, now I long to return;
I look to the Lord to lend me wings of a dove.
At the first voice of thunder, quickly I fly
To the arms of compassion on which I rely.
Like the descending dove, I come to rest.
I retreat to the shadow of His mighty wings
In His tender mercies to regain my strength.
Though I tremble from within my fear shall pass,
A firestorm of affliction now dwindles to ash.
Like ashes on the breeze in a whirlwind of grace.
Rising embers become as a thousand stars
Cast away to the heavens by the warmth of His smile;
In His arms of compassion, I am safe once again--
Sorrow is carried away on wings of the wind.
His lovingkindness blesses within the depths of my soul.
Had I wings of a dove I surely would fly
Home to my Savior for I am His child.
I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest-
I would flee far away
and stay in the desert;
Selah
I would hurry to my place of shelter,
far from the tempest and storm."
~Psalm 55:6-8~
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast."
~Psalm 139:8-10~
to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and
against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your
son; make me like one of your hired men.' So he got
up and went to his father."But while he was still a
long way off, his father saw him and was filled
with compassion for him; he ran to his son,
threw his arms around him and kissed him. "
~Luke 15:18-20~
How prone I am to go astray!
The passions of my flesh are strong;
Be Thou, my God, a shield from wrong. —D. De Haan
*God will give us the victory, but we
must be willing to fight.*
Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God. —Carter
*The Bible always points the believer in
the right direction.*
“All we want in Christ, we shall find in Christ. If
we want little, we shall find little. If we want much,
we shall find much; but if, in utter helplessness,
we cast our all on Christ, He will be to us the whole
treasury of God.” — Henry Benjamin Whipple
