"Strange that so few come to the woods to see how the pine lives and grows and spires, lifting its evergreen arms to the light – to see its perfect success."
~ Henry David Thoreau ~
The Hiding Place

In a time of trouble, in a time forlorn,
There is a hiding place where hope is born.
There is a hiding place, a strong protective space,
Where God provides the grace to persevere;
For nothing can remove us from the Father’s love ,
Tho’ all may change, yet nothing changes here.
In a time of sorrow, in a time of grief, There is a hiding place to give relief.

In a time of danger, when out faith is proved,
There is a hiding place where we are loved.
There is a hiding place, a strong protective space,
Where God provides the grace to persevere;
For nothing can remove us from the Father’s love ,
Tho’ all may change, yet nothing changes here.
In a time of weakness, in a time of fear,
There is a hiding place Where God is near.
