My Refuge (Psalms 46 & 62)

[Intro Musical Directive: Guitar drone low, sousaphone hums, faint handclaps. Background choir sings a low, sustained "ohhhh yes..." under the beat.] Mmm... He is the confidence that is His essence... (Slow, deep grungy chanting) Lord God, give me the grace I need today, To trust in You completely along the way. To find my safety deep inside Your presence, I lift my heart to You, my refuge strong. You are my shelter, You are my salvation, Solid foundation, No need to flee. [Call]: Where is my strength when the light starts to fade? [Response]: He is your fortress, a promise He made! [Call]: My weary soul—where can it sleep? [Response]: In His safe arms, forever to keep! (Brass stabs between responses) You are my shelter, You are my salvation, Living on this promise, My faith sets me free. [Bridge Instrumental Break: Clean guitar feedback, sousaphone drone, drum march. Gospel choir hums in major harmony.] Help me remember Mass attendance is my must... To anchor all my hope, my confidence, my trust. He's a refuge for me, Heal the broken place, Drums keep poundin', brass keep soundin', I run toward His grace. Amen. [Outro: Clean guitar hit and triumphant tuba rumble fading out.] ©2025 By Matthew E Treviño
