My Strength and My Sanity

When my mind acts without thee
it spins nothing but deceit and delusion...
Oh how I need thee to abide in me,
for I have no natural eyes to see thee, 
but I live by faith in one whose face to me
is brighter than a thousand suns!
...Grant that I may distrust myself, to see
my all in thee.
-From "Love to Jesus" in The Valley of Vision


You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3


Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand. 
Bread of heaven, 
Feed me now and evermore;
Bread of heaven, 
Feed me now and evermore.
Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing waters flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer, 
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.
Strong Deliverer,
Be Though still my Strength and Shield.
-William Williams 1745
