Blessed Beneath His Vigilance

Blessed Beneath His Vigilance


Despairing there, in deep travail
Yearning for reprieve;
Until a calming hand touched mine
And anguish had to leave.
Personally, Christ came nigh
And saved me by and by.

Grieving like I’ve never grieved
Too deep the loss to bear;
Until a gentle arm came ‘round
And Jesus met me there.
Personally, Christ came nigh
And saved me by and by.

Fearing what the future holds
Without a means to earn:
Until a blessed voice assured:
From thee I’ll never turn.
Personally, Christ came nigh
And saved me by and by.

Dreading what the doctor said
All hope from me diverged.
Until His solemn word arose:
And light again emerged.
Personally, Christ came nigh
And saved me by and by.

In each and every circumstance,
Whatever life may bring
I rest assured I’m covered
Beneath Almighty wings.
Personally, Christ is nigh
And saves me by and by.

Psalm 91:4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
