"The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; the have set gins for me... O God the Lord, the Strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle" (Psalm 140:5,7).
Lord, how many times You have covered my head,
While the enemy hid unawares!
Lord, how many times You have graciously led
And delivered my feet from their snares.
Lord, how many times in the pathway of life
You have rescued my soul from their gins!
Lord, how many times in the battle and strife
You have kept me from unwitting sins!
I know I can't tell now the rest of that story;
Such mercies are hid from my view,
But when I am home, Lord, with You in Your glory,
I'll see then what You brought me through!
