Prompt / Lyrics
When I bow my head to pray each day, I call you “Father” in a tender way. You’re not distant, cold, or stern above, You’re near and warm, the God of love. Some hearts are scarred, some tears still fall, From fathers who gave no love at all. Yet in your arms, I’ve come to find, A healer strong, yet sweetly kind. Jehovah my refuge, my place to belong, You’re my strength when my will’s not strong. You hold my hand when shadows fall, My tender Protector through it all. You give the sun, you send the rain, You calm my fear, relieve my pain. You know each need before I pray, And fill my heart in your own way. You gave your Son to set us free, So love could live eternally. A gift so deep, so full, so true, How can I not give thanks to you? Jehovah my refuge, my place to belong, You’re my strength when my will’s not strong. You hold my hand when shadows fall, My tender Protector through it all. Your truth, like morning light, will shine, It warms this faithful heart of mine. You teach me trust, you teach me grace, Till I behold your loving face. When Satan’s darts come hurling near, Your shield of faith removes my fear. Your Word, my armor, strong and clear, Keeps your children safe and dear. Jehovah my refuge, my place to belong, You’re my strength when my will’s not strong. You hold my hand when shadows fall, My tender Protector through it all. Like children running to your knee, We feel your care so tenderly. In Christ we’ve seen your mercy’s art, The perfect picture of your heart. You never fail, you never sleep, Your promises are ours to keep. You lift me up when I am weak, I hear your comfort when you speak. Jehovah my refuge, my place to belong, You’re my strength when my will’s not strong. You hold my hand when shadows fall, My tender Protector through it all. Your spirit guides, your love renews, It shapes my thoughts, my words, my views. It helps me walk the righteous way, And keeps my fears and doubts at bay. You grasp my hand, I will not fall, I hear your whisper through it all. “Do not fear, I’m helping you still,” My Father, my joy, my heart, my will. Jehovah my refuge, my place to belong, You’re my strength when my will’s not strong. You hold my hand when shadows fall, My tender Protector through it all. Jehovah, my refuge, my place to belong, You’re my strength when my will’s not strong. You hold my hand when shadows fall, My tender Protector through it all, Jehovah my Father, my God.
