I've Found My Refuge in the LORD

Author: David G. Preston, 1939- Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I've found my refuge in the LORD; how can you say to me, "Flee to the mountains like a bird, for in the shadows see; there, ready armed, the wicked hide, to assail the upright few; when life's foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?" 2 The LORD is in His holy place up on His heavenly throne; His eye is on the human race, our very thoughts are known. The LORD sees what the righteous do: their faith and life He tests; He sees the men of violence, too, and those His soul detests. 3 Upon the wicked He will rain His searing fires of death, as when the cities of the plain were withered by His breath. For God the LORD loves righteousness, a righteous God is He; and those who walk in holiness His holy face shall see. Scripture: Psalm 11 Used With Tune: STAR OF THE COUNTY DOWN
