Run to my refuge

I have moments when I'm tired, when I'm grieving, when I'm frightened or very anxious. In those moments, I'm learning to remind myself that there is a place I can go for reassurance and comfort. It's to my heavenly Father's arms.

"Refuge" Watercolor by Jamie Rae Harder

There are times I'm so weary, I'm so tired of the fight.

I know I need refreshing. I need Your Light

My soul repeats this constant refrain

I will run to my Refuge, to my Father's care

I'll run to my Refuge, to my Father's care

He knows. He sees. He welcomes me

He knows. He sees. He welcomes me

into His arms, into His embrace

I will stay. I'll bask in His presence, I'll stay

Savor each moment. Receive, take in His comfort

and be still. I will rest in His love.

When grief surrounds me, much to heavy to bear.

My heart sinks within me, I'm deep in despair

I'll run to my Refuge, to my Father's care

I'll hand Him my sorrow and He'll comfort me there

I'll hand Him my sorrow and He'll comfort me there

He knows. He sees. He welcomes me

He knows. He sees. He welcomes me

into His arms, into His embrace

I will stay. I'll bask in His presence, I'll stay

Savor each moment. Receive, take in His comfort

and be still. I will rest in His love.

In the cool of the evening or the dawning of day

I will cast all my cares down, my burdens I'll lay

I'll go to the table, my Savior provides

I'll eat of His goodness, drink of His wine

I'll eat of His goodness and I'll drink of his wine.

He knows. He sees. He welcomes me

He knows. He sees. He welcomes me

into His arms, into His embrace

I will stay. I'll bask in His presence, I'll stay

Savor each moment. Receive, take in His comfort

and be still. I will rest in His love.

I'll stay. I'll bask in His presence, I'll stay

I'll savor each moment, I'll stay

I will run to my Refuge...
