"And the pillar or monument
was called Mizpah
(watchpost)
for he (Laban) said,
"May the Lord
watch between
you and me
when we are absent
and hidden
one from another."
Genesis 31:49
Go thou thy way
and I go mine,
and I go mine,
Apart, yet not afar;
Only a thin veil hangs between
The pathways where we are.
And "God keep watch
'tween thee and me";
This is my prayer;
He looks thy way,
He looketh mine,
And keeps us near.
I sigh to see thy face,
But since this may not be,
I'll leave thee
to the care of Him
Who cares for
thee and me.
thee and me.
"I'll keep you both
beneath My wings,"
This comforts, dear;
One wing o'er thee
and one o'er me,
Will keep us near.
And though our
paths be separate,
paths be separate,
And thy way
is not mine,
is not mine,
Yet coming to
the Mercy seat,
My soul will meet
with thine.
And God keep watch
'tween thee and me,"
I'll whisper there.
He blesseth thee,
He blesseth me,
And we are near.
"Mizpah"
-Julia A Baker
Though we are apart
you walk
forever
in my soul.
"Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed
Lies the seed
that with the sun's love,
in the spring
becomes the rose."
