Oh Refuge and My Rock of Hope

Oh refuge and my rock of hope

Upon you I will stand

You wrote my name upon the palm

Of your almighty hand

My Safety and my hideaway

My Shelter from the cold

A fortress strong for my defense

Safe haven and stronghold

Oh refuge and my rock of hope

My trust and surety

Within the cleft where I am placed

I apprehend glory

Oh citadel of confidence

The bastion  where I hide

Behind the shield of faith I dwell

And my soul is fortified

For our weapons of warfare

Are the power Your grace affords

We shall overcome the enemy

For the battle is the Lord’s

We shall overcome the enemy

For the battle is the Lord’s

Oh refuge and my rock of hope

Your battlements protect

They safeguard me against the foe

And Satan’s darts deflect

You place in me real courage

So me faith will never  fail

Though demons rage, against this  rock

Hell’s gates shall not prevail

For our weapons of warfare

Are the power Your grace affords

We shall overcome the enemy

For the battle is the Lord’s

We shall overcome the enemy

For the battle is the Lord’s
