A Refuge For My Soul (Psalm 142) Lyrics

In my despair I raise my voice

A trembling echo a weary choice

My soul pours out a flood unseen

In shadowed halls where I have been

I cry aloud to skies so vast

Unveil my heart its shadows cast

The path before me rugged torn

With every step my spirit worn

When all forsake when none can see

The trap set close surrounding me

I lift my eyes though weighed with strife

Seeking the light to redeem my life

You are my refuge my shelter my song

In your embrace I've found where I belong

When the world is silent my voice is heard

Through your mercy I am stirred

The walls close in the night descends

But in my prayer the darkness bends

Your grace a flame my hope sustains

Through raging storms and bitter rains

I was alone the last of the kind

But in your love my rest I find

Lift my soul like wings unseen

Guide me to places I've never been

You are my refuge my shelter my song

In your embrace I've found where I belong

When the world is silent my voice is heard

Through your mercy I am stirred

Through every shadow your light will stay

A constant guide through the fleeting day

I whisper still through the quiet night

You are my refuge my saving light
