"When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then Thou knewest my path… refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my Refuge" (Psalm 142:3-5). "Whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil" (Proverbs 1:33). "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts" (Zechariah 4:6). "This is My body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me… This cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you" (Luke 22:19,20).
When I was
overwhelmed within,
The Lord then
surely knew my path.
Christ died to
take away my sin;
He lives to
shelter me from wrath.
All hope of safety
failed then,
Though I had
sought it very well.
I found no refuge
among men,
And there was no
escape from hell.
In darkness,
Jesus shed His light;
His Spirit
prompted me to pray.
I saw my refuge! What a sight
That I beheld in
Christ that day!
I see, Lord, in the
bread and wine
Remembrance of
my Refuge shown.
You gave Your
life to rescue mine;
My refuge is in You
alone.
