Through This World’s Lonely Pass {New Music Monday}
I hope this poem, and the music that accompanies it, encourage you to stand firm on Jesus, our only hope in this age and the age to come!
We need not fear as he stays near,
His love and protection a fountain.
Our hope stands firm, year after year,
The pinnacle of a mountain.
With words, he builds the foundation,
With trust, we climb higher still.
Each rock works for our salvation,
Each stone a path to goodwill.
Flowing like crystalline waters
From stores in the mountain’s side:
Grace for his sons and daughters,
Comfort through him who died.
O Jesus, Our Emmanuel,
We praise you who on earth did dwell.
Bring us through this world’s lonely pass,
Safely home, loved, protected–with you at last.
I’m especially proud of the music I wrote to go along with the poem. I fully acknowledge that God gave me this musical gift, and I hope I can use it to praise him for eternity. Here’s a track of just the ukulele part, in case you’d like to hear it:
