Lift Me up above the Shadows: The First Thirty Days

By Lottie Colgrove

I have always loved music, through singing or listening to it. I played the organ and piano in church services. Because I played these instruments, I memorized many hymns. I also gave piano lessons. One of the hymns was "Lift Me up above the Shadows," a beautiful hymn by Herbert Buffman. Although I did not play it often, one day the song was impressed on my mind. Like a broken record, it played over and over. I would find myself singing it. This happened several days before my husband died. God was using it to prepare me for what was ahead, and I believe also to let me know He would be with me and guide me.

For our days are passed away in

Thy wrath we spend our days as

A tale that is told.

Yet is their strength labor and sorrow.

For it is soon cut off and we fly away

So teach us to number our days that

We may apply our hearts to wisdom

O, Satisfy us early with your mercy

That we may rejoice and be glad all

Our days: Ps. 90:9–10.

Have you ever had an experience

Of a melody or lyrics of a song

Suddenly cross your mind, when you

Hadn’t thought of it for years?

I’ve had that happen many times

The words would be relevant to the

Occasion. Sometimes, to comfort, an

Answer to a problem, or maybe it would

Be a hymn of praise and worship

When we go through seemingly long,

Dark valleys the Lord is very close to us

And often speaks to us through music.

He leads us and guides
