"Thou hast been a Shelter for me and a strong Tower from the enemy" (Psalm 61:3). "Then said Jesus unto them again..... I am the Door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved.... I am the good Shepherd: the good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep" (John 10:7-11).
How many images conform
In Scripture to Immanuel:
A Shelter in the raging storm,
A Tower where we safely dwell!
Such images have shown us more
Of Christ in patterns etched so deep:
He is salvation's only Door;
He is the Shepherd of His sheep.
We see Him in each sacrifice
And hero in His Word explored.
Our time on earth shall not suffice
To search the fullness of our Lord!
O precious Lord, we cannot find
A more exhilarating view
To thrill our heart, our soul, and mind
Than Scripture's images of You!
