God is My Refuge-A Poem of Hope

God is My Refuge
God is My Refuge

 

God is my Refuge

Amid this deluge

Of questions unanswered

A heart that is battered

And scarred by this life

Of Trials and strife

 

For in Him I find

A true peace of mind

Where Joy is Abiding

And rest is residing

In His arms of love

I rise high above

 

The clamor of earth

Their counterfeit mirth

The anger and hate

Words that berate

That clash at my heart

To tear it apart

 

And so, I must run

To God’s only son

Where there in His arms

I am safe from all harms

My refuge, my hope

From this slippery slope

 

For He by His Grace

Hath shown me His face

His Glory doth shine

His spirit entwine

With mine on this day

To show me the way.

 

Let me sit here a while

And bask in His smile

For He is my refuge

Amid this deluge

He shelters my heart

 His Love will never depart
