Following are the lyrics of a song I discovered in an old Bible of mine from years ago. It brought back memories of the most difficult time in my Christian life I have ever gone through. The words of this song were a great encouragement to me.
If I Could Love You Better
By “Wendy and Mary”
If I could love You better alone than together
then give me solitude.
If I could love You better by becoming a beggar,
Then remove my coat and shoes.
If I could see You clearly through the most humble,
Then bring me Lord to my knees.
If I could love You better in stormy weather,
Then let it rain on me.
Chorus: Let me find shelter in Your covering,
And trust in You when hope seems gone.
Let Your strength be my strong hold,
Then Your voice will be my song.
If I could love You better without a song I’d rather
You take me Lord and change my heart.
But if You see me on stage singing,
Then give me word and may it impart.
If I could love You better with out-stretched hands,
Help me lift them high.
If I could love You better in stormy weather,
Then break through my pride.
Chorus: Let me find shelter in Your covering,
And trust in You when hope seems gone.
Let Your strength be my strong hold,
Then Your voice will be my song.
In my weakness You bring me strength,
Through my trusting You build my faith.
Through my dying to my selfish ways,
I live in you.
Chorus: Let me find shelter in Your covering,
And trust in You when hope seems gone.
Let Your strength be my strong hold,
Then Your voice will be my song.

An exceedingly timely reminder that the believer can do nothing without our Lord. He became Man, but sin apart, in order to be our Kinsman Redeemer. He died on the cross to bear our sins in His own body in order to be our Substitute. He arose from the tomb the third day in order to be our Justifier. He ascended to heaven as Man glorified in order to represent mankind before His Father. He entered into the Holy of Holies in order to be our great High Priest ever living to make intercession for us. Truly, to us who believe HE IS PRECIOUS! Hallelujah!
Let me find shelter in Your covering,
And trust in You when hope seems gone.
Let Your strength ne my stronghold,
Then Your voice will be my song.
The psalmist might add;
“When my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, a strong tower from the enemy”
