Refuge

By: Nate Smith

VS 1

Where can I go when I’m downhearted

What kind of love can conquer fear

Where have I been that you aren’t with me

For even in darkness you are near

Pre-Chorus

How I need you, how you care

I will fear no evil, I won’t despair

Chorus

Jesus be my prince of peace

In the face of suffering

When the world is pressing in

Be my refuge

You’re acquainted with my grief

You hear the song I sing

You will not abandon me

You’re my refuge

VS 2

What were you praying in the garden

Did grief overwhelm you like a wave

How can it be the god of heaven

Would give himself over to the grave?

PreChorus

You’re the man of sorrows, what a name

For the wounded healer who overcame

Bridge

Where can I go from your spirit?

Where can I hide from your love?

For down in the depths you have seen me

And your spirit descends like a dove

How could I hide from your presence

For you are as vast the sea

Your glory surpasses the heavens

But your spirit is resting on me
