*David Crowder, "Come Awake"
from where shall come my help?
 
My help shall come from the Lord
 
who made heaven and earth.
 
 
 
May God never allow you to stumble!
 
Let your guard not sleep.
 
Behold, neither sleeping nor slumbering,
 
Israel’s guard.
 
 
 
The Lord is your guard and your shade;
 
and stands at your right.
 
By day the sun shall not smite you
 
nor the moon in the night.
 
 
 
The Lord will guard you from evil,
 
and will guard your soul.
 
The Lord will guard your going and coming
 
both now and for ever.</poem>

For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven, while we were with him on the holy mountain. So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
