[Verse 1] When the night closes in and the hunters draw near, When the shadows grow long and the footsteps you hear, Remember the promise that covers your flight— He will cover you with His pinions tonight. Under His wings you may seek refuge still, His faithfulness stands like a shield on the hill. [Chorus] Come to Me, all you weary and worn, I will give you rest, though the storm be reborn. Do not fear, for I am with you, My child, I will strengthen your heart, I will hold you undefiled. Neither death nor life, nor the powers of the air, Can tear you from love—My arms are still there. [Verse 2] Even though I walk through the valley of death, Where the rod of the wicked is raised in their breath, I will fear no evil, though the darkness may press, For You are with me, my comfort, my rest. Your rod and Your staff, they guide through the flame, In the deepest of valleys, they whisper Your name. [Bridge] In fact, all who live godly will suffer the rod, Persecution will come like the judgment of God. But the stone that falls is not for the meek, It is for the proud, for the wolves that would speak. We are hunted, yes—yet we are never alone, The Lion who roars claims us as His own. [Verse 3] So do not be dismayed when the hunters pursue, When the world shakes and the faithful are few. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand, I will be your fortress, your rock, where you stand. For nothing in all creation can sever the cord— The love of your God in Christ Jesus, your Lord. [Final Chorus – To the Hunted] Come to Me, hunted ones, weary and torn, I will give you rest till the new day is born. Under My wings, though the night may be long, My faithfulness shields you—sing out your song. The dragon may rage, but his time is so brief, The Lamb has already brought you relief. Neither death nor life, nor the powers that be, Can separate you from the love found in Me.
