Oh Lord, You Are My Dwelling Place

Whenever I am overwhelmed by my troubles, or in a situation where I find myself with no place to turn, I fall back on the promise that the Lord gave us that He is our dwelling place, and that beneath the shadow of His wings we can find comfort and shelter from the storms that rage around us. These words He gave me when I was going through such a time, and they were a real comfort to me, as I hope they will be to you too. God bless you, and peace be with you.

Oh lord, you are my dwelling place

Oh Lord, You are my dwelling place,
To which I run in time of need,
For I know that when I call to You,
My dry and thirsty soul You'll feed.

As I shelter beneath Your mighty wings,
I know You'll keep me safe from harm,
For when storms are raging all around,
You're a haven of peace and calm.

You are my fortress, safe and strong;
My God, in whom I trust,
And I know when foes attack me,
That You are faithful, true and just.

I know, in times of trouble,
That I can always run to You,
And I know that You'll protect me,
For all Your promises are true.

So, Lord, I give You the glory,
And the honour that is due Your name,
For I know that, now I am Your child,
My life will never be the same.

Yes, Father, I give my life to You,
To do with as You will,
And I pray that as I walk with You,
Your desire for me I will fulfil.

Then, when You send Your blessed Son
To claim His pure and spotless bride,
I pray that worthy I'll be found
In one of Your mansions to abide.
