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.
