I Take Refuge In the Lord!

In you, O Lord, I take refuge and strength.

Your love for me is an immeasurable length!

Let me not be put to shame,

but rescue and deliver me!

As my enemies approach,

your spirit surrounds me!

As you tune your ear,

 to listen and save me…

My problems and worries,

you put beneath me!

You are my rock and refuge

 to which I can go!

You bring peace and strength,

 to my weary soul!

You’ve given the command

 to reach out and save me!

You’ve done this, because of how much

 you love me!

You’ve delivered me from the reach

of wicked and evil men!

And have been there for me, time and time again!

You are my hope and confidence,

 in whom I can trust in!

You are my Lord God,

 in whom I surely believe in!

From my birth and mother’s womb,

 I shall praise you!

I need you so much! What would I do without you?
