My songs begin...
"Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of Thy waterspouts: All Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me, yet the LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,and in the night His song shall be with me and my prayer unto the God of my life." Psalm 42:7-8
"Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage." Psalm 119:54
Where else to begin but with God's Holy Word. This is a long overdue journal of thoughts and loving glances at my Saviour Jesus Christ.
I don't know the author of this poem taken from "Streams in the Desert", but love the mental picture it gives of laying aside the earthly abode for the wondrous one in heaven being prepared for us.
I'm going by the upper road, for that still holds the sun,
I'm climbing through night's pastures where the starry rivers run:
If you should think to seek me in my old dark abode,
You'll find this writing on the door,
"He's on the Upper Road."
(A Scottish highlander perhaps wrote this?...very lovely)
To be sure while going through those night pastures he was singing a song the Lord gave him.
