Stronghold (Mehida)

Here I stand alone No-one by my side I’m a dread to my friends and everyone flees from me But in You I put my trust Let Your face shine on me My times are in Your hands Deliver me from my enemies ’Cause You are My stronghold My fortress My shield and strength When everything else fails My eyes grow weak with sorrow My soul and my body with grief As I fall like a dying sparrow And I feel there is no one to reach But in You I put my trust Let Your face shine on me My times are in Your hands Deliver me from my enemies ’Cause You are My stronghold My fortress My shield and strength When everything else fails My stronghold My fortress My shield and strength When everything else fails I put my trust in You Yes, You are My stronghold My fortress My shield and strength When everything else fails “How great is your goodness which you bestow in the sight of men on those who take refuge in you. In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men; in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues.”
