A Singer, A Song

I’m just having too much fun with this.

Available at Amazon.com.

Which is weirder: that Amazon would recommend these two seemingly miles-apart albums to me, or that it’s absolutely spot-on?

If I forget, yet God remembers.
If these hands of mine cease from their clinging,
yet the hands divine hold me so firmly
I cannot fall.
And if sometimes I am too tired to call for Him to help me,
then He reads the prayer unspoken in my heart
and lifts my care.

I dare not fear since certainly I know that I am in God’s keeping,
shielded so, from all that else would harm.
and in the hour of stern temptation,
strengthened by His power.
I tread no path in life to Him unknown.
I lift no burden, bear no pain alone.
My soul a calm, sure hiding place has found:
The everlasting arms my life surround.

God, Thou art love! I build my faith on that.
I know Thee who has kept my path
and made light for me in the darkness
tempering sorrow so that it reached me like a
solemn joy.

It were too strange
that I should doubt Thy love.
