Analysis of In the Shadow of His Wings
Melita Catalina Warren 1949 (Kansas)
His mighty movements comprise awesome stuff,
Echoing through valley beyond furthest bluff.
I ponder miracles gazing at cloud’s cottony fluff,
Experiencing blessings, more than enough.
Devilish temptations and snares I boldly rebuff,
Maintaining a countenance far from gruff.
When the turbulent sea is unduly rough,
Because of His strength I grow tough.
