The Lord Our Salvation and Refuge

In times of trouble, He is our might, 
Our deliverance, our guiding light. 
Justice He loves, faithful He remains, 
Eternal security, His promise sustains.

Our righteousness and justice, He will reveal, 
In His presence, our hearts will heal. 
God acts on our behalf, His plans unfold, 
In His timing, His wonders behold.

With faith and trust, we walk His way, 
In righteous deeds, we find our stay. 
Rejecting sin, embracing His grace, 
Reflecting His character, we seek His face.

In God’s presence, we find our peace, 
His reliability, our fears release. 
Delight in the Lord, our joy complete, 
In His will, our desires meet.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
