I Will Lift My Eyes

My friend, who is a missionary in Costa Rica, sent me this link today to the song "I Will Lift My Eyes" by Bebo Norman. Its lyrics were a timely, poignant reminder to me.

These lyrics caused me to reflect on the words of the twenty-first Psalm:

I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is your keeper;
The LORD is your shade at your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.
