Refuge From the Lion **Verse 1:** Lord my God, I’m running to your name Enemies surround me like a fire I can’t contain They circle like a lion with its teeth against my skin If you don’t rise to save me, I don’t know what will begin **Pre‑Chorus:** If there’s guilt upon my hands If I’ve broken sacred stands Then let justice take its course Let the ground reclaim this man **Chorus:** But you are my refuge, my shield in the fight My defender who rises in the darkest night Arise in your anger, let justice be shown Judge every heart, for the truth is your throne You save the upright, you scatter the lies You break every weapon the wicked devise **Verse 2:** You probe the hidden motives buried deep inside the soul You see the schemes of violence long before they take their toll You sharpen righteous judgment like an arrow set aflame And every plot of evil turns back on the one who made it reign **Pre‑Chorus:** Those who birth corruption’s seed Harvest only broken dreams Every pit they carve in hate Becomes the grave of their deceit **Chorus:** But you are my refuge, my shield in the fight My defender who rises in the darkest night Arise in your anger, let justice be shown Judge every heart, for the truth is your throne You save the upright, you scatter the lies You break every weapon the wicked devise **Bridge:** Let the nations gather round Let your verdict shake the ground Let the righteous stand secure Let your justice echo loud **Final Chorus:** You are my refuge, my shield in the fight My defender who rises in the darkest night Arise in your anger, let justice be shown Judge every heart, for the truth is your throne You save the upright, you scatter the lies You break every weapon the wicked devise I will give thanks, I will lift my voice high And sing to the name of the Lord Most High
