Story Behind The Song

Social injustice is all around us. I wrote this song to remind myself that my forever home is not here on Earth, but in Heaven.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see the fire on the hillside
Hear all the rumors of war
But I'm standing here
Untouched
Unshaken
While the storm beats on the door
You spread a table in the shadows
Call this wandering heart your own
You are my shelter and my stronghold
You are my very home

[Chorus]
You are my refuge
My High God
My hiding place when the night falls down
Evil can't reach where your arms are
Harm can't cross this holy ground
Angels all around me
Every step
They keep me safe and strong
You are my refuge
My High God
My forever
My forever home

[Verse 2]
When I stumble on the dark road
You're the hand that finds my hand
I hear the rustle of your angels
As they lift me where I stand
Lions roaring in the distance
Serpents sliding through the grass
But I walk right through the valley
Knowing all of this will pass

[Bridge]
If I hold on to you for dear life
You whisper
"Child
I'm holding tighter"
When the night closes in like a prison
You step in
You're the fire
You're the fighter
I will walk among the lions
Unafraid
I will tread on every serpent in my way
'Cause your promise is the ground beneath my feet
And your faithfulness is all I'll ever need

[Chorus]
You are my refuge
My High God
My hiding place when the night falls down
Evil can't reach where your arms are
Harm can't cross this holy ground
Angels all around me
Every step
They keep me safe and strong
You are my refuge
My High God
My forever
My forever home
