Refuge in the Rage

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.... The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: He uttered His voice, the earth melted.... Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge. Selah" (Psalm 46:1,6,10,11).

Refuge sweet amidst the rage,
Lord and Savior of our life,
Thank You that from age to age,
You are present in the strife.

Sometimes we forget that fact.
Sometimes we are prone to worry.
Sometimes we may wish You'd act
In our narrow-visioned hurry.

Then we hear You say, "Be still,"
For You are God, though some resist;
Though the heathen rage, You will
Be exalted in their midst.
