"Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice. Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land." -- Isaiah 32:1-2

Every Whisper, Every Sigh

Annie Moses Band

Sparrow flying/No denying/You see us all/You give your full attention/Each detail You know so well/The inner working of my heart/You are master of Your art/Your kindness calls me close to You

Jehovah Shamah/The Father standing near/Jehovah Shamah/Through the drama of the years/Attending every tear/You hear the faintest cry

Every whisper, every sigh/Every whisper, every sigh

Strong and tender/My defender/Intimate friend/Closer than a brother/Beside me, You hide me/In the shelter of Your wing/And though You are the King/You look into my eyes with love

Jehovah Shamah/The Father standing near/Jehovah Shamah/Through the drama of the years/Attending every tear/You hear the faintest cry

Every whisper, every sigh/Every whisper, every sigh

Hello, reader! My name is Rosa Cotton. (In case you're wondering, Rosa is a nickname a friend gave me years ago, and I added Cotton for my favorite hobbit lass, Rosie Cotton.)

Who am I? I am a girl seeking God's will for my life, blessed (or cursed, depending how you look at it) with a very active imagination and gigantic love for books. Almost any given day I get inspiration for different fanfics but struggle putting them down in words. I can take no credit for the stories I've written. God has given me this ability, and I pray Him will be glorified and honored through my writing.

"Do not be anxious then, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'With what shall we clothe ourselves?' For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself." -- Matthew 6:31-34
