My heart has found a refuge

2. O Lord, Your very heart is
   a citadel for me,
   a hiding place and refuge
   where I can always flee.
   Your loving eyes watch o’er me,
   and angels guard with care.
   Midst raging wars and tumults
   I dwell in safety there.
   Midst raging wars and tumults
   I dwell in safety there.
3. O Father, I am hidden
   beneath Your wings of love;
   Your fearful child is sheltered
   by goodness from above.
   My tears, O Lord, You’ve counted –
   and in each fear and need
   You call out, “I’m your Father,
   your Helper, Lord, indeed.”
   You call out, “I’m your Father,
   your Helper, Lord, indeed.”
4. “Behold, I am almighty;
   My arm is strong indeed.
   I stretch it out to help you,
   My child, in every need.
   So sing about My power,
   My steadfast love for you.
   It never can forsake you;
   it’s every morning new.
   It never can forsake you;
   it’s every morning new.”
