In
times like these, in anguish
after
the bombing, the chaos
explosions
hundreds of miles away
in
times of great trouble
When
the world doesn’t make sense
out
of control, darkness
when
joy is hard to find
in
times of great trouble
God
is right beside us
our
refuge, our strength
with
us always, ever
to
the end of our days
God
is our refuge
our
fortress, our armor
the
protection we need
in
our struggles on earth
God
is our strength
in
the gales, the wilderness;
nearby
us, holding us
safe
in the storms
