The Hiding Place

There is no earthly hiding place
where Thy love cannot shine.
We cannot sneak away and hide
for all the world is thine.

We cannot hide within our hearts
for you reside in there
and fill it with your holy light...
no shadows anywhere!

The only place we have to hide
from troubles and despair
is tucked away in Thine own arms
protected in Thy care.

Honey-Sweet

Somewhere I've tucked away
my memory of you.
I've pushed it out of sight.
What else could I do?

Time has gone on without stopping
as time is wont to do,
and you are there without me
while I am here without you.

And yet our love still lingers,
soft and honey-sweet,
a taste of dawn and midnight,
mountain high and river deep.
