Places on the Way - Strong Towers

Today’s scene - ‘Watchtower above Golden Bay - Malta” 

Psalm 18:10 The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.


The motto of my home City of Plymouth is “Turris Fortissimo Est Nomen Jehova” - The name of Jehovah is a strong tower.”


Your name so strong, Your word, your bond

Stands tower-like, protects from harm;

As sanctuary you bear beyond 

The perils of this world, disarm.

Jehovah Jireh, you I call

As your protecting arm enfolds

My shaky stance - where I may fall

Saved by your mighty hands, stronghold.


Your tower founded on your love

Protecting walls of grace stand firm

A bastion, your will behove

A timeless strength that here confirms

You take away all danger’s sting

Repels each enemy of  peace

That in your safety I can bring

My wounded heart and rest at ease.


Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.

Saint Augustine
