Safe Haven

Your strength I seek, Lord
From the hardships of this world
… they weaken me so

My body fails me in standing
To my knees I fall
Lord, You and You alone are my refuge

Shield me with Your mighty arms
Provide me strength to go on
Fill me with hope, wipe the tears from my face

Build my faith where I fall short
My spirit says to stand firm …
By Your hand … I shall stand so

Your loving kindness pours over me
My spirit  is consumed by Your love
Straight away my body grows strong

Oh Lord, I love and worship You!
You alone Lord, are my refuge
I have found my safe haven in You
