LYRICS
Rock of Refuge (Psalm 31)
Tune: Spancilhill
Words: Kiran Young Wimberly © 2022
Be a rock of refuge for me and a fortress when I’m afraid
Incline your ear unto me and come quickly to my aid
Take me from the net that binds me and deliver me from scorn
I commit my spirit to your hands, please shelter me from harm
Rock of refuge, rock of refuge
Rock of refuge, when I am afraid
Be merciful unto me for my heart is in distress
My eyes are filled with grief and my soul is weighted down
My body’s spent with sorrow and my years with sighing, O
My strength it fails from misery, my bones they waste away
Rock of refuge, rock of refuge
Rock of refuge, when I am afraid
But I trust in you forever, for you are my God
My times are in your hand, let your face shine on me now
I’ll praise you and rejoice in you, please listen to my plea
Be a rock of refuge for me and a fortress when I’m afraid
And blessed be the Lord for God’s steadfast love for me
God heard my supplication when I cried out for help
My refuge and my fortress, I will thank God with my song
Be strong all those who wait for God, may courage fill your hearts
Rock of refuge, rock of refuge
Rock of refuge, when I am afraid
