Tune: Acclaim
('Praise the Saviour, ye who know Him')
Psalm 59 v.9-13 and v.16-17
************
Because of your strength God, I will
Wait upon you, my defence still
You are the God of my mercy
And go before me
You shall let me my desire see
Upon my enemies, they be
Defeated, scattered by your hand
They shall fall, not stand
Bring them down, O Lord, you our shield
Unto your power they shall yield
For they sin with their lips and say
We shall win the day
Let them be taken in their pride
In their lies, cursing, they deride
Consume them in your wrath, and so
Your rule, all shall know
But I will sing of your power
Praise your greatness every hour
Sing aloud of your mercy for
You my refuge sure
My defence, refuge in trouble
You do hear me when I do call
Unto you my strength I will sing
For you mercies bring

Panic rooms, safety perimeters, security measures, sanctuary, and refuge something we all need and understand in various forms and modes.
