MY STRONGHOLD

[VERSE]

Lord you are good, a stronghold in the day of trouble;

Lord you are good; Wall of fire, You cover our hearts

Like a shield or fortress around us,

Keeping us safe in your arms;

And you’re filling us with your glory, Lord;

Cleansing and healing us in your love,

In your shelter: we put our trust in You.

(repeat)

 [CHORUS]

Lord, we come to your throne of Grace,

Seeking grace and mercy to help in time of need;

Hide us in your secret place;

Renew our minds, restore our souls, heal our hearts and

Make us whole we pray.

(Repeat)

 [CODA]

Jesus, you’re my stronghold,

My hiding place,

My refuge;

Lord you are my healer,

My hope and grace,

My love, my God.

(repeat)
