"For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ
you should not only believe in Him but also suffer for His sake."
Philippians 1:29
Not Only... But Also
Not only love but also loneliness - Yes, even so
What though the nearest may not ever know
All that in this must be,
That being a secret between Thee and me, Thou knowest.
And it cannot work me ill,
Being Thy will;
And by and by
Thou wilt satisfy.
But unknown years stand up and stare at me.
The sun beats hot;
I look around for shelter, find it not.
Companion me;
Be shelter, Lord, to me!
O let Thy shadow be
As the cool starlit night - in noonday - unto me.
