Soul Settled In the Saviour

Slip, my soul, as sunset into the sea --- settled to stay serenely shining shaded by the Saviour’s starlight shielded against stain of sin-sting sorrow scintillating spiritedly. Seeking succor from sufferings and strife soul of mine, slip as sunset into the sea --- surrounded with Sovereign solitude secured midst salvation’s surety subdued from stubborn self-centeredness. Sweetly savouring satisfaction of sincere service sufficed by the Supreme Shepherd* sealed soul, slip steadfastly, as sunset into the sea --- silenced against slothfulness-shouts with sleep’s solace safely sheltered toward tomorrow’s steadfast stewardship. *Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
