For Those Who Take Refuge in You

Lord in my desperation and my deep deep need

For your abundant mercy and grace I plead

For I am very weak, so refuge I will seek

Now to your hiding place I pray that you will lead

For those who take refuge in You

You provide a stronghold and rescue

For those who take refuge in You

You provide a stronghold and rescue

You will be our shelter and you will be our shield

In the day of trouble  on this mortal battlefield

Help us to appropriate the covering you provide

For those who would take refuge you welcome us inside 

For those who take refuge in You

You provide a stronghold and rescue

For those who take refuge in You

You provide a stronghold and rescue

Bridge

How abundant is your goodness, 

Which you have worked by your grace

Yet we run for other sanctuaries

And another hiding place…but there’s no hiding place

Key Change

I will run for cover ‘neath the shelter of your wings

I will run for cover and drink from your wellsprings

There is no condemnation for the one who in You dwells

In the refuge You become our True Beth-el

For those who take refuge in You

You provide a stronghold and rescue

For those who take refuge in You

You provide a stronghold and rescue (repeat)
