Verse 1

My refuge and my fortress strong
My God in whom I trust
With You Most High I make my home
I shelter in Your love

Chorus 1

You keep me like a mother bird
Beneath Your gentle wing
You guard me as a shield in war
Your arms protecting me

Verse 2

But God there is so much to fear
A threat on every side
The hunter’s trap the deadly plague
The terror in the night

Chorus 2

But even if a thousand fall
I’m held within Your hand
Oh let Your angels bear me up
And strengthen me to stand

Verse 3

I know You’ll crush the enemy
The serpent underfoot
I know You’re working in all things
For Your glory and my good

Chorus 3

So I’m holding fast to You in love
I’m calling on Your name
I trust Your promise to be near
Your faithfulness to save

Chorus 4

I’m holding fast to You in love
I’m calling on Your name
Until at last You raise me up
To everlasting Day
