Jesus Is My Refuge!

My soul is broken and my body's achin'.

At times, I feel  

lost and forsaken.

I've tried to serve God

the best I could.

So many of his ways,

I never understood.

Rather then trusting him

 and holding his hand.

 My life is sinking deep

into quicksand!

So many nights, I cried

myself to sleep.

I feel like I'm in a pit 1000 ft. deep.

I cry unto you Lord

to pull me out.

From you... Oh Lord...

I don't want to be without!

By your tender mercy

and unfailing grace.

I trust you to put my life

on a solid place.

This solid place is Jesus!

My rock and foundation.

I've received his free gift of salvation.

He put my feet on a rock to stay.

And his word guides me

each and every day.

A song of thanksgiving is what I bring.

He is my righteousness

 and my everything!

He's always there when I

needed someone to turn to.

He's here right now...

and is waiting for YOU!
