I Have a Shelter

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling."

~Psalm 46:1-3 (ESV)

I was particularly blessed by the following song as I commuted to work this morning. We have a God Who will not refuse us in our deepest sin. He will not forsake us in our biggest, most-constant, "never-ending" trial. When the constancy of trying and tests would break us like a brittle branch enduring as long as possible in a fierce winter wind, God's strength will never forsake us! Therefore, brothers and sisters, we shall not break--because He shall not and cannot break His promises.

Enjoy the lyrics of this song, "I Have a Shelter." I have bolded some of the text that I found a blessing today.

I Have a Shelter
I have a shelter in the storm
When troubles pour upon me
Though fears are rising like a flood
My soul can rest securely

O Jesus, I will hide in You
My place of peace and solace
No trial is deeper than Your love
That comforts all my sorrows

I have a shelter in the storm
When all my sins accuse me
Though justice charges me with guilt
Your grace will not refuse me
O Jesus, I will hide in You
Who bore my condemnation
I find my refuge in Your wounds
For there I find salvation

I have a shelter in the storm
When constant winds would break me
For in my weakness, I have learned
Your strength will not forsake me
O Jesus, I will hide in You
The One who bears my burdens
With faithful hands that cannot fail

You’ll bring me home to heaven
