My Refuge, My Fortress (Psalm 91)

Lyrics

Verse 1:
My refuge and my fortress strong
My God in whom I trust
With you, Most High, I make my home
I shelter in your love
You keep me like a mother bird
Beneath your gentle wing
You guard me as a shield in war
Your arms protecting me

Verse 2:
But God there is so much to fear
A threat on every side
The hunter’s trap, the deadly plague
The terror in the night
But even if a thousand fall
I’m held within your hand
Oh let your angels bear me up
And strengthen me to stand

Verse 3:
I know you’ll crush the enemy
The serpent underfoot
I know you’re working in all things
For your glory and my good
So I’m holding fast to you in love
I’m calling on your name
I trust your promise to be near
Your faithfulness to save

Tag:
I’m holding fast to you in love
I’m calling on your name
Until at last you raise me up
To everlasting Day
