Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Rescue Lyrics: 1 I love you, O LORD, you alone,
my refuge on whom I depend,
my maker, my Savior, my own,
my hope and my trust without end.
The LORD is my strength and my song,
defender and guide of my ways;
my master to whom I belong,
my God who shall have all my praise.
2 The dangers of death gathered round,
the waves of destruction came near,
but in my despairing I found
the LORD who released me from fear.
I called for his help in my pain,
to God my salvation I cried;
he brought me his comfort again,
I live by the strength he supplied.
3 The earth and the elements shake
with thunder and lightning and hail;
the cliffs and the mountain-tops break
and mortals are feeble and pale.
His justice is full and complete,
his mercy to us has no end;
the clouds are a path for his feet,
he comes on the wings of the wind.
4 My hope is the promise he gives,
my life is secure in his hand;
I shall not be lost, for he lives!
he comes to my aid— I shall stand!
LORD God, you are pow'rful to save,
your Spirit will spur me to pray;
your Son has defeated the grave:
I trust and I praise you today! Scripture: Psalm 18 Used With Tune: JANE
