Taken Aside

Taken aside by Jesus,
To feel the touch of His hand;
To rest for a while in the shadow
Of the Rock in a weary land.

Taken aside by Jesus,
In the loneliness dark and drear,
Where no other comfort may reach me,
Than His voice to my heart so dear.

Taken aside by Jesus,
To be quite alone with Him,
To hear His wonderful tones of love
'Mid the silence and shadows dim.

Taken aside by Jesus,
Shall I shrink from the desert place;
When I hear as I never heard before,
And see Him "face to face."

Excerpt from Streams in the Desert by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

Carried Through the Storms of Life

Oh What Love

Oh what love
casts out fear?

Oh what love
never betrays?

Oh what love
never forsakes?

Oh what love
Christ alone

He is love
perfect love

He's the same
yesterday and today

Oh what love
Oh what love

His alone

(Based upon I John 4:7-21)
