Precious Hiding Place

 

Precious Hiding Place

Every person has probably been in a cold, dark place in their life. It feels lonely there and seems at times unbearable. It may have been falling into the trap of temptation. It may have been depression, It may have been losing someone who was so dear to us that we feel we can’t live without. Jesus gently guides us to a warm, quiet place. There is a light that we can follow. That light is Jesus; His nail scarred hand reaches out to us and draws us near to Him. We are safe in Jesus’ arms and He brings clarification to what we need to do. We must accept His invitation and relax in His arms.

Lyrics by Avis B. Christensen, arranged by Wendell P. Loveless

“I was straying when Christ found me in the night so dark and cold; Tenderly His arm went round me and He bore me to His fold.

With His nail scarred hand He brought me to the shelter of His love; Of His grace and will He taught me, and of heavenly rest above.

Tho the night be dark around me, I am safe, for He is near; Never shall my foes confound me, while the Savior’s voice I hear.

Precious hiding place, Precious hiding place, in the shelter of His love; Not a doubt of fear, since my Lord is near, and I’m sheltered in His love.”
