Hiding Place

I have a tendency to get "stuck" on certain songs that really speak to me and end up listen to them for weeks...  my current song of choice is a hymn that was written by Daniel Herbert, a reformed Baptist pastor somewhere around 1814. Jars of Clay released a cd in 2005 called Redemption Songs, and on it they recorded this hymn.  I found it today on youtube, and thought I'd share. The lyrics are wonderful... I especially love this part: "But when Thy spirit shines within, Makes me feel the plague of sin, And how I long to see Thy face, 'Tis then I want a hiding place."

Amidst the sorrows of the way
Lord Jesus, teach my soul to pray
Let me taste Thy special grace
And run to Christ, my hiding place
You know the vileness of my heart
So prone to act the rebel's part
And when You veil Your lovely face
How can I find a hiding placeHiding place, hiding place
Lord, guide my wandering feet
Draw me to Thy mercy seat
I've nought to trust but sovereign grace
Thou only art my hiding place
How unstable is my heart
Sometimes I take the tempter's part
And slight the tokens of Thy grace
And seem to want no hiding place
Hiding place, hiding place
But when Thy spirit shines within
Makes me feel the plague of sin
And how I long to see Thy face
'Tis then I want a hiding place
Lord Jesus, shine and then I can
Feel sweetness in salvation's plan
And as a sinner plead for grace
Christ, the sinner's hiding place
And as a sinner plead for grace
Christ, the sinner's hiding place
