Analysis of Refuge



Right underneath your wings
Lord, it's Your shelter that I do seek
Protection from harm and sin
You're my refuge

Pillar of strength and peace
Lord, You're a treasure that I do keep
Seated upon the throne
You're my refuge

Fountain of living water
I drink from Your cup and I do not thirst
Though temptation is on every side
You're my refuge
