In all of life's vicissitudes It's in the peaceful, quiet hour That one discovers for himself The source and secret of power. Communing with Jesus our Lord Is a blessed and hallowed treat; What great joy to fellowhship, honor, Sing and worship at His feet. Jesus is the Rock of Defense A source of spiritual power; In the time of greatest need He's a strong and mighty tower. He's our shelter and hiding place, The shadow of a mighty Rock; In life's ongoing fierce battles He keeps us from enemy attack. The adversary comes relentless With deception and sophistries To derail and cause us to falter And fail in our Gospel ministries. But personal victories are gained, And Heaven's bells loudly ring When in the audience chamber We spend time alone with the King. In Jesus we're promised that We are more than conquerors For the archdeceiver is defeated By the Word of God and prayers. When we draw nigh to God And strongly resist the Devil, The holy angels are by our side To protect us from all evil. The secret of spiritual power Is to study our Bible and pray; When this is done faithfully Jesus will keep the enemy away. In the peace and joy of holy solitude We gain inner strength and might; There's a special place He sets for us In the warmth of the morning light. Copyrighted © Lydia Haga 2004
