This is the last of Frank Andersen’s songs from Everything I Possess, that I haven’t already blogged elsewhere. It is available in the collection Scripture in Song available here.
I had already done, “Springs of Salvation”, “My People”, “His State Was Divine”, and “Galilee Song”, so you can search for them here if you want to look at those.
This one is a very slow but lovely tune, based on Psalm 131
In you, o Lord, we find our peace. In you the God of tenderness. We long to gaze upon your face, O Lord, to live in the shadow of your wings… to live in the shadow of your wings.
My heart has no ambitions, Lord. My eyes do not search the skies. Nor am I concerned with marvels beyond my scope but enough for me to be tranquilly within your arms, my God.
