Surest Shield

"Thou art my Hiding Place and my Shield: I hope in Thy word" (Psalm 119:114).  "Every word of God is pure: He is a Shield unto them that put their trust in Him" (Proverbs 30:5).  "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for Me" (Jeremiah 32:27).  "By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house" (Hebrews 11:7). 

There is no safer hiding place

Than Christ, whom God's Word has revealed,

Who rescues with His saving grace

All those who trust Him as their Shield. 

Since every word of God is pure

And nothing is too hard for Him,

He is our Shield, strong and sure,

Though we are weak and sight is dim. 

As clouded skies are growing dark  

With promised judgment drawing near,

We are as Noah in the ark

Which he prepared with godly fear. 

Our Surest Shield, Lord, is You,

Our Savior risen from the dead! 

The wisest thing that we can do

Is trust in all that You have said.
