Rock Of Refuge

orchidee



Tune: Old 100th

('All people that on earth do dwell')

Psalm 62 v.5-8

************

My soul, wait upon God only

Wait His good time, and you shall see

It shall be well, my hope shall be

In Him, I trust expectantly

 

He only is my rock, stronghold

And my salvation, in His fold

By His grace I shall there abide

All to Him, heart, mind, life confide

 

He is my defence, I not be

Moved, shaken, but remain firmly

Trusting in Him, my God for e'er

His promise to forsake me ne'er

 

He my salvation, my glory

The rock of my strength constantly

My refuge is in Him, secure

Assured I be in Him e'ermore

 

Trust in Him at all times, people

Pour out hearts to Him, on Him call

He be a refuge, Rock ageless

His thoughts toward us numberless

    Good one Orchi.

    • orchidee

      Thanks Gold. I hope folk find this true, from a section on meditative type Psalms - seems to be that theme in 61, 62, and 63.

                No - only Rub Berles - he's a broken man.
