"A Cry for Refuge"
In troubled times, I seek Your face,
A refuge from the stormy place,
Like David's plea, I cry to You,
"O Lord, my God, I trust in You".
My soul thirsts, like a parched land-
Longing for Your presence, Lord, to stand,
Why so downcast, O my soul?
Hope in God, for He makes me whole.
The taunts of foes, they pierce my heart,
But You, O Lord, my shield and part-
You judge the wicked, You defend,
The righteous, Your love will never end.
Send forth Your light, and Your truth,
Guide me, Lord, through life's turbulent youth,
Let Your presence, be my peace,
My Rock, my Savior, my release.
In Your justice, I find my strength
My heart, aflame, with love's length
I'll praise Your name, in every test
For You, O Lord, are my eternal rest.
