I love this song that Sara Groves sings. I listen to it and it just brings peace into my heart. I was moved to write a poem.
You Are My Hiding Place
By Linda Hogeland
In this world so filled with hate
I must not worry or debate
I must remember all that's true, and put my utmost faith in you...
You are my hiding place
I will not fear what man can do
I'll boldly put my trust in You
Because this simple fact is true...
You are my hiding place
There are times when I want to run
To flee the pain and dodge the sun
In the scorching heat I am undone...but
You are my hiding place
The blinding light of Satan's lies...
Deceives me in his bold disguise
Yet you perceive when my heart cries...
You are my hiding place
Unfaithful friends become my foes
And bring me down with all their woes
My guard goes up to block their blows...
You are my hiding place
Life tugs and pulls with all its cares
And sometimes snags me unawares...
But it can't catch me in its snares...for
You are my hiding place
What peace, what calm, what joy I feel
When in your arms I start to heal
You nurture me and give me zeal...
In my hiding place
Then out I go to spread your love
In power only from above
To share the hope on wings of dove
You are my hiding place
I bid others to escape
To run to you with eager gate
The only One who seals our fate
You are our hiding place
You spread your wings and beckon me
To the shelter warm and free
On bended knee I cry to Thee...
You are my hiding place!
