FAWM: "My Refuge"

My Refuge

Liner Notes

Lyrics

Oh Lord, you're faithful in each season You're with me in the battles that I face When the enemy surrounds me I will look to heaven for my strength

You are my refuge, a fortress that will never fail Your mighty hand secures my hope, forever true Lead me onward, through the fire and the seas Create a song inside of me from a heart made new

Refine my heart, O God of light Consume this mortal life in your flame Let your holiness transform me Leave me with a heart that's pure as gold

You are my refuge, a fortress that will never fail Your mighty hand secures my hope, forever true Lead me onward, through the fire and the seas Create a song inside of me from a heart made new

You will complete the work you started Your promises, they never fail My life declares your victory I have found abundance in your name

You are my refuge, a fortress that will never fail Your mighty hand secures my hope, forever true Lead me onward, through the fire and the seas Create a song inside of me from a heart made new

I needed to hear this song tonight. The verse you built this song around has personal significance to me. I particularly liked the vocal melody. Thanks for this.

This is excellent! I’d be planning a full band version of this if I were you. In the chorus, I love the “You are..” statement as it sets the framework, then followed by the petition, “Lead me onward…” which completes the picture.

As an aside, you might consider tagging this with #firstfruits. It definitely ticks the boxes for that tag.
