Tower in Tribulation


"The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe" (Proverbs 18:10).  "These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). 

There is a place today to run
To find our Refuge in God's power. 
The name of Jesus, God the Son,
In tribulation is our Tower. 

There is no other place to go
To find our peace in tribulation. 
In Christ alone, we surely know,
We are secure in His salvation.  

By Christ Himself we are assured
That He has overcome the world. 
Our peace forever is secured;
Our sins into the sea are hurled. 

He takes away our cause for fear
As in His Tower we can see
The splendor of eternal cheer
In truth by which He makes us free. 

O Lord, we hear what You have spoken,
And we rejoice to know it's true. 
Your promises are never broken;
We find our peace alone in You. 

Receive our thanks, O Lord our Savior!
Through tribulation You became   
Our Tower of redeeming favor
And Refuge from eternal shame.
