### **I. "The Secret Place"**
*Refuge in the Shadow of the Almighty*
**In the shelter of the Most High, I rest—**
Where fears dissolve and weary souls are blessed.
*"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty"* .
**No snare of darkness, no fowler’s deceit**
Shall steal the peace where Your heart and mine meet.
*"Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the trapper
And from the deadly pestilence"* .
**Your feathers, softer than mercy’s own breath,**
Cover my wounds and silence the claims of death.
*"He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge"* .
**A thousand fall near, ten thousand at right hand—**
Yet I stand unscathed by the enemy’s demand.
*"You will only observe with your eyes
And see the reward of the wicked"* .
**For angels descend where Your word commands,**
Bearing me up on their holy hands.
*"He shall give His angels charge over you,
To guard you in all your ways"* .
**Lion and serpent, though fierce they advance,**
Are crushed beneath feet of deliverance.
*"You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra—
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample"* .
**Because I love You, You lift me high—**
Long life, salvation, Your reply to my cry.
*"With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation"* .

### **II. "Mother Wings"**
*The Tenderness of Divine Shelter*
**Like chicks that flee to the mother hen’s breast,**
I hide in Your warmth when storms infest.
*"He will cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall find refuge"* .
**Not frail, these wings—but fortress-strong,**
Where no plague or terror can linger long.
*"No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling"* .
**You call me *in* before the threat takes flight,**
Your foresight my shield in the dead of night.
*"You need not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day"* .
**When floods arise and faith grows thin,**
Your feathers whisper, *"Let Me in."*
*"God protects and cherishes His beloved
Under His Almighty wings of love"* .
**O Faithful Mother, fierce and kind,**
In Your wings, eternal safety I find.
*"His faithfulness shall be your shield—
Your rampart against the world’s fierce field"* .

### **III. "Eagle’s Cry"**
*Soaring on Promises*
**You who dwell in the heart of God’s embrace,**
Rise on wings that eclipse time and space.
*"He shall raise you up on eagle’s wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn"* .
**No stone shall trip the foot You guide,**
For angels walk in stride beside.
*"They shall bear you up in their hands,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone"* .
**When nightmares whisper, *"You’re alone,"***
Your vow thunders from heaven’s throne:
*"I will be with him in trouble—
I will deliver him and honor him!"* .
**Lion-hearted, by Your strength I stand,**
Trampling serpents with open hand.
*"You will tread upon the lion and the adder;
The young lion you shall trample underfoot"* .
**Salvation’s dawn—my eyes shall see**
The long life You have promised me.
*"With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation"* .
