How Firm a Foundation
Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor will rivers overflow it....
~Song of Solomon 8:7
This week's podcast (yes, there finally is one!) is dedicated to my friend Tamara and her family. Tam's husband passed away of cancer this spring. I had started uploading and mixing these tracks already when I visited her blog. As I finished the sound engineering, I thought of their family. It's easy to think words like these turn out true when we watch others suffer loss and hardship; it's much harder in the midst of many waters. (2 Samuel 22:17-20)
Tam, here's a June song for you.
How firm a foundation, you saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word.
What more can He say than to you He has said--
To you, who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
"Fear not, I am with you, oh, be not dismayed;
For I am your God, I will still give you aid.
I'll strengthen you, help you and cause you to stand,
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand."
"When through the deep waters I call you to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow
For I will be with you, your trials to bless,
And sanctify to you your deepest distress."
"The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to her foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake,
I'll never, no never, no never forsake."

Thanks for this, Cathi and company! How beautiful... and, yes, the words I can relate to. I always treasure your family's music and will never forget how it touched Vic on your last visit to him.
Love,
Tamara
