v7
Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD [there is] mercy, and with him [is] plenteous redemption.
Being redeemed from our sin is what we really need. The Lord does that for us. That's what we should be waiting for.
From: Hiding in Thee
By William Cushing, 1876 and Ira Sankey, 1877O safe to the Rock that is higher than I, My soul in its conflicts and sorrows would fly; So sinful, so weary, Thine, Thine, would I be; Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee. Hiding in Thee, hiding in Thee, Thou blest “Rock of Ages,” I’m hiding in Thee.listen to MP3 file
I just thought of this song last night, after listening the song "You are my Hiding Place."
ReplyDeleteThey probably both derive in part from Psalm 32.
I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. (Psalm 32:5-7)
Praise God.
