no stronger shelter in the storm
or firmer fortress stands.
Come near to guide and rescue me,
from lurking dangers set me free
as now, O God, I bring my life
and place it in Your hands.
2 Let idols not possess my heart,
but all my joy be in the thought
of love so deep, so true:
You saw me helpless in my grief,
and when I called You brought relief
and opened out for me a space
to live and walk with You.
3 Be merciful, O LORD, when still
Your servants suffer pain or guilt
which no one understands:
while some despise and others sneer
and even friends recoil in fear
support them as they cling to You,
their future in Your hands.
4 What wondrous faithfulness is Yours!
For such an ever present source
of grace, what praise is due!
O LORD, the one who hears our pray'rs
and keeps us safe from hidden snares,
help us to wait with confidence
and fix our hope on You! Used With Tune: BANNER OF LOVE
My Refuge, LORD!
