Troubling Times

In times of trouble, the Lord will be a refuge for the oppressed. Those who really know you will trust you completely, for you faithfully stand with those who depend on you. — Psalm 9:9–10 The Discussion Bible

When trouble comes knocking with thunder and dread,
When storms swirl around, and fear fills your head,
Don’t worry or scurry or run off and hide.
The Lord is our refuge. He stands by our side.

For those who know him, who trust him and pray,
Will find that he’s faithful, come what may.
He shelters the weak, and he lifts up the low,
He’s with those who seek him. He wants you to know.

So don’t be afraid when the dark clouds appear.
The Lord is your fortress. He’s always near.
He’s steady and strong and helps when you fall.
Just trust him completely. He cares for you all.
