“Lord, be my rock of safety, the stronghold that saves me. For the honor of your name lead me and guide me.”
“The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield, and the horn of my salvation; my stronghold.”

“Dear heart,” he murmured, “do not look on me with those dear, scared eyes of yours. If there is aught that puzzles you in what I said, try and trust me a little longer.

“Your father died for me, and dying with you would be an honor, though not as great as dying to save you.”
