Tag Archives: God is our refuge
Everyday can be a struggle,
when from God’s Word we stray
every hour is more miserable
when we don’t trust and pray.
Everything will look impossible,
when His hope is not there
every problem looks bleaker
when we don’t believe He cares.
Every worry seems unbearable,
when His mercy we don’t claim
every care is more insufferable
when we don’t call upon His name.
Every mountain seems higher,
when we climb it all alone
every valley is a little deeper
when we wander off on our own.
Everyone who goes about,
doing whatever it is they will . . .
will never know the kind of peace
that only God can instill!

Psalm 46:1
“God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.”

God is my refuge,
a retreat for my soul
where life’s pressures
cannot take their toll.
His wings protect me,
a shelter they provide
whenever I am weary
a perfect place to hide.
God is my refuge,
a harbor to where I flee
whenever I’m tossed
upon life’s stormy sea.
When I need strength,
for the troubles I get in
I just turn to the Lord
my refuge from within.
God is my refuge,
a stronghold He is to me
an always present help . . .
I’ve found Him to be!
~~~~~~~~~~
Psalm 46:1
“God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.”
Psalm 91:1-2
“Whoever dwells in the shelter
of the Most High will rest in
the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD,
‘He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.’”

When tragedy comes,
catching you off guard
when the aftermath of grief
hits you cold and hard.
Know that God is near,
to the brokenhearted
and the crushed in spirit
He will keep safe-guarded.
When from out of nowhere,
disaster strikes you down
and it affects are felt
by every one around.
Know that God is a shelter,
a safe harbor and refuge
someone you can turn to
whenever under a deluge.
When tragedy and disaster,
come to your door and knock
know God will lift you up
and set you high upon the Rock!
~~~~~~~~
Psalm 34:18
“The Lord is near
to the brokenhearted
and saves the crushed
in spirit.”
Psalm 27:5
“For he will hide me
in his shelter in the
day of trouble; he will
conceal me under the cover
of his tent; he will
lift me high upon a rock.”

The Captain of our Salvation,
prepares us for the fight
equips us with the power
of His holy might.
He readies our minds,
for the battle up ahead
establishes our hearts
to be Spirit lead.
The Captain of our Salvation,
provides a safe haven
a refuge and a fortress
whenever we are shaken.
He is our stronghold,
defends on our behalf
guides and protects us
with His rod and staff.
The Captain of our Salvation,
knows the battle we’re in
and He promises to give us
the faith and trust to win!
~~~~~~~~
Hebrews 2:10
“For it became him,
for whom are all things,
and by whom are all things,
in bringing many sons
unto glory, to make the
captain of their salvation
perfect through sufferings.”

The Lord wants us,
in the storm to be still
He wants us to know
for us, this is His will.
He wants us to remain,
quiet on the inside
when every thing else
is troubled on the outside.
He wants us to know,
the battle is His to fight
He wants us to seek
the refuge of His might.
He wants us to have,
peace and tranquility
when all else around us
is full of anxiety.
The Lord wants us,
to have a calm soul
He wants us to know
He’s the One in control!
