You are my City of Refuge
from Joshua 20
Lord, once again I've run into your strong tower
You've heard my words,
my heart,
my intentions before you
I'm trusting they are fitting and pleasing in your sight
Where they are not, please show me
I wait for you
As I stay in your guarded city
Help me to remain steadfast and sure of your Word to me
Your promises and your covenantal blessing
I will not surrender that which you've given me
just as you will not surrender what is yours.
We are yours
In the conflict of this season
where I don't feel you, I don’t see you
but I know you
I trust in your goodness, your mercy, your working
I trust you will lead and guide me,
each step
that I may take no wrong turn
that I may not look away from you
that the light of your face
shine on us
that I may not speak
a word out of place
that I be led by your Spirit
guided by your light
I will stay put in peace
Where I don’t know
what to do
what to say
what to think
I remain in you
I will keep myself still
I will not be at war with you,
but at peace
in this place
I will trust in your keeping
in your leading
in your dealing
Trusting that you are doing
something mighty
sovereign
changing our circumstances
for good
according to your will
I pray for peace and prosperity
in this land
That you will cause this war
to cease
and we will live
in safe and secure dwellings
Where violence
and destruction
is no longer
Where we will no longer
see any enemy
Where tyranny will be
far from us
Where we call our walls
salvation
and our gates
praise
Be a wall of fire around us
Let your glory and power
be seen within by everyone
Your work and your power
Your grace and your comfort
Your strength and endurance
You molding and fashioning
will be glorified in us
IMMANUEL
Psalm 61:1-5
Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings. For you, God, have heard my vows; you have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.
