A Refuge In Times of Trouble

(Intro)

Those who know your name will trust in you,
For you never forsake those who seek you.

(Verse 1)

Sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion;
Proclaim among the nations what he has done.
He remembers the innocent who suffer,
And never forgets the cry of the humble.

(Pre-Chorus)

Hear me, Lord, and show me mercy;
See the trouble I endure from those who hate me.

(Chorus)

Lift me up from the gates of death,
So I may declare your praise.
I will rejoice in your salvation,
And proclaim your saving grace.

(Verse 2)

The nations fall into the pit they have dug,
Caught in the traps they set for others.
The Lord is known through his justice;
The wicked are trapped by their own deeds.

(Pre-Chorus)

Justice reveals your holy name,
And truth is seen in all you do.

(Chorus)

Lift me up from the gates of death,
So I may declare your praise.
I will rejoice in your salvation,
And proclaim your saving grace.

(Ending)

You remember the broken and the lowly;
Their cries are never lost to you.
