There Is a Refuge

You shelter me from darkened skies
and conduct me from whence danger lies 

You harbor me when I'm unwise,  
when I fall down and cannot rise

You shield my body; you guide my eyes
you comfort me when my heart cries

You protect me from another's lies 
you love me through the lows and highs 

You forgive me, yet you don't chastise
your refuge lives, though my body dies
