Refuge and Salvation
O Lord, you are my refuge - never
let me be disgraced, rescue me.
I sin and can't keep from it, that's my nature.
It's a part of me I don't want anyone to see.

Turn Your ear to listen, be my rock of safety where
I am always welcome. Command and it will be so!
You are my rock and my fortress, save me
from the power of Satan - tell Him to go.

O Lord, You alone are my hope.  I've trusted You
all my life - You have been with me since birth.
That's why I praise you so much; for what
good there is in me -is my only worth.

That is a great blessing for a little of
the Holy Spirit goes a long, long way.
You, O Lord, are my hope, my love and my
salvation - forever and ever inside of me to stay.
