Tag Archives: Safe Haven

When fear chases you,
before you get caught
there is a refuge . . .
for you God has got.
It’s a place of safety,
for you to run into
where dread and panic
cannot overtake you.
When your heart starts,
frantically racing
and your hands begin
violently shaking.
Run to the fortress,
of peace and trust
for it is where God
promises to meet us.
Before fear chases you,
into a dreadful fright
into God’s shelter . . .
run with all your might!
~~~~~~~~
Psalm 91:1-2
“He that dwelleth in the
secret place of the most
High shall abide under
the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord,
He is my refuge and my
fortress: my God;
in him will I trust.”
King James Version

In times of trouble,
we need a hideaway
a place we can go . . .
just to get away.
We need a retreat,
a place to de-stress
we need a refuge
so we can decompress.
In times of troubles,
we need a resort
a place where we can find
some Godly support.
We need a haven,
a shelter of protection
we need a sanctuary
a place for reflection.
In times of trouble,
we need a getaway
and God provides . . .
the perfect hideaway!

Today I took a sail,
on a quiet, restful sea
and soon tranquility
took a hold of me.
As I gently rocked,
I became aware
this is how it will be
when I haven’t me a care.
I laid back my head,
my face was to the sun
thinking what it’ll be like
when worry, I have none.
I closed my eyes tightly,
envisioning perfect bliss
and thought to myself
this world I’ll not miss.
Today I took a sail,
if only in my mind . . .
but God showed me His peace
is right here ~ for me to find!

Lord, You are my hiding place,
my harbor in any storm . . .
You are the only one I know
who keeps me from all harm.
You are my safe haven,
my retreat when I am weary
You are the only one I know
who my burdens will carry.
You are my soul’s refuge,
my sanctuary when I need a break
You are the only one I know
who understands every ache.
You are my hideaway,
my shelter when I need peace
You are the only one I know
who’s love for me will never cease.
Lord, You are my hiding place,
my port into which I sail . . .
You are the only one I know
whom will never disappoint or fail!

My Rock never leaves me,
forsake me He does not
my Rock is strong and sturdy
each time He is sought.
My Rock forever comforts,
protects and provides
my Rock is always present
from me He never hides.
My Rock is my strength,
the power of my might
my Rock is my safe haven
my refuge and my light.
My Rock has a name,
to which I call upon
my Rock is the Lord Jesus
and it’s to Him, I cling on!
