Strong Tower

Strong and mighty - Strong to save us
Like a fortress - Never failing

Strong in battle - Strong in kindness
When we stray, Lord - You're strong to find us

When the winds come hard against us
You are steadfast, You are true
When the ground beneath us trembles
Your foundation never moves

Strong tower - High and glorious
Strong tower - Mighty in love
Our refuge - Our defender
Strong tower - Lord above

Strong to lead us - Through the shadows
Strong to carry - All our sorrows
When the enemy surrounds us
Closing in as darkness falls
Though his armies rage against us
They can never scale these walls

You are my shelter, my shield
You are the home I could never deserve
Here I will serve, ever under Your gaze
Here I will serve, ever singing Your praise

~ Newsboys, "Devotion"

Remembrance

There is a small clearing with soft green grass and wildflowers of all colors. Part of it is shade, and part of it is full sun. There are two sitting rocks opposite each other on the edge of the clearing. A warm, gentle breeze touches my face. This is where I met my Savior, and He gave me a beautiful, white cotton dress. I held onto the dress, and we spoke for hours. Where has the time gone? I miss this place.
