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
