Psalm 57:3 He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me—God sends forth his love and his faithfulness.

You shelter me ‘neath your strong wing, 

And keep me safe though you’re a king;

The reigning one above all things,

O worthy one my praise I bring.

Yet midst the peril of earth’s harm,

Where dangers lurk and raise alarm,

I tremble neath your sheltering arm

Where there you bring a sacred calm.

A refuge where your mercy meets

My anxious needs, dispels, deletes

That inner fear so I may greet

The soothing of my heart complete.

You send from heaven, your saving grace

Rebuking dangers I may face

And through your faithful love I trace.

Your holy arms that I embrace.

“Sometimes God calms the storm, but sometimes God lets the storm rage and calms His child.”
