You are my Knight in shining armor Who rescued me from the abyss of dark despair You wiped all sorrow from my eyes With your tender touch You crowned me with peace and joy And courted me in the Garden of Paradise. You soothed my fears With the sweetness from your lips. And brought me up out of the dark chasm Into the brighter light of your love. You, the brightest morning Star Shimmering in magnificence! With you I am safe and secure As I nestle in the shelter Of your loving embrace Under the shadow of Your gossamer wing. You are my hiding place…. My high tower Where I may take refuge From the raging storms And overwhelming adversity Yes, I am always sheltered By your unfailing love and tender care. I dwell in peace , Joyful to be alone with you. Many have disappointed me Leaving me intimately aquainted with pain Filling my cup with sorrows Overflowing me with hopelessness, My visions and dreams obscured In a dismal prison of loneliness. But you rescued me, Putting your royal robes about me And your ring upon my finger As you kissed me tenderly And called me your own. Yes, my Knight, Slayer of the terrible serpent, I observed the battle from a high tower, My haven of safety As you drove the serpent To shame and certain death By the power of your Sword of Truth. Your mighty angel warriors Carried me over the Valley of Shadows And set my feet upon high ground In meadows of peace and joy. O How I love you You have shown me Your gentleness and care As if I were a precious And costly diamond or ruby Of great worth. I beheld the wonders of your love As you overcame the serpent And cast him down under your feet To be trampled in the dust. All…for the love of me I adore you my King And my shining Knight I call out your name As a song in the wind And hear the melody of your voice Calling me home to Paradise. From Psalm 91 Poetry is: |

"With you I am safe and secure As I nestle in the shelter Of your loving embrace Under the shadow of Your gossamer wing. You are my hiding place…. My high tower Where I may take refuge From the raging storms And overwhelming adversity" These are my favorite lines. I guess because I can relate. Beautiful writing! quatro |
