Psalm 11
I wrote these lyrics in response to meditation on Psalm 11. It's a simple 5 stanza hymn with a basic meter and rhyme-scheme. My recommendation is to read Psalm 11 first and then read the hymn. Also, I don't have a melody yet so if anyone is inspired to write one I'd love to hear what people come up with!
The shadows hide a hateful foe
We know his aim, we fear his bow
An earthly refuge calls to us
But heaven's King shall be our trust
We shall not flee to mountain high
Nor shall we leave this world and hide
For though the wicked foe assail,
Our true foundation shall not fail
We do not stand on earth or stone
But in the care of heaven's throne
Where God the Judge of all presides
And sees our plight with loving eyes
His hand shall bring the wicked low
With fire and wind and every woe
For He shall save His righteous saints
The upright shall behold His face
Yet who are we to claim such grace?
For we are of that wicked race
Behold! Our God brought low for us
That we might own His righteousness!
