CHRIST OUR MAN: “A man will be as a hiding place from the wind, and a cover from the tempest, as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land” (Isa 32:2). H.J. Miles, in his poem, “What a Man!” says,
When the blast’s o’erwhelming force Breaks upon us in it’s course,
Then a Man shall be in grace, From the wind a hiding place.
Bursts the tempest, thundering dread, From the darkening cloud o’erhead?
Sent by God, a Man shall form Sheltering cover from the storm.
As our eyes in all around Nothing see but barren ground,
In a Man our heart shall trace Rivers in a barren place.
When the sun, with scorching ray, Beats upon our pilgrim way,
As a rock, a Man shall stand, Shadow in a weary land.
Jesus Thou the Hiding Place, Cover from the tempest’s face;
Waterbrook where all is dry, Shading Rock when sun is high.
