The Shadows Flee Away
I am waiting, hoping, praying, for the coming of that day
When the Lord shall come from Heaven, and the shadows flee away.
There is darkness looming around me, and the fears and doubts dismay
But the Morning Star lights up the gloom, and the shadows flee away.
When I feel I cannot go on, and my prayers fade away,
The Lord lifts me from my despair, and the shadows flee away.
Walking through the fire and the flood, the Lord holds the night at bay
My hope is renewed, my Saviour comes, and the shadows flee away.
God's promises light up my heart, and I find strength for this day,
Comfort comes from my Beloved, and the shadows flee away.
Even when I am faithless, and I don't have the courage to pray,
Jesus comes, like I knew He would, and my shadows flee away.

For a list of studies that use the Song of Solomon as the springboard:

When the Lord shall come from Heaven, and the shadows flee away.

But the Morning Star lights up the gloom, and the shadows flee away.
When I feel I cannot go on, and my prayers fade away,
The Lord lifts me from my despair, and the shadows flee away.

Can my heart get any more encouraged??? :-) There's nothing better than a good dose of the Word of God to "lighten" our hearts :-) Thanks Brother!!
2 Samuel 22:29 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
Good stuff. This is the "pondering" kind of material that will yield more benefit with increased exposure.
I'll be back soon. God bless.
Thanks Even So for visiting. I am reading your blog entries right now. So far I have found a few ones that I really gleaned from (more than others) - the one on Repentance, and Learning to Live Prophetically were really good.
Kate, I am glad that you are still enjoying my blog attempt. Good to know I have some loyal friends! ;)
