A Safe Place

Lord, listen to a just cause,
Pay attention to my cry;
Erasing all of my flaws,
That is causing my to sigh.

Listen to me as I pray,
From my lips free of deceit;
I do promise to obey,
No longer having conceit.

From You give vindication,
Because you see what is right;
While giving salvation,
So that I may see the light.

For You have tested my heart,
You examined me at night;
Found the evil did depart,
Turning my darkness to light.

So, unto you I confess,
That I need the discipline;
No longer shall I transgress,
Or committing any sin.

Concerning what people do,
That from the Word of Your lips;
I always tried to be true,
Avoid violence that trips.

My steps are now on Your path,
My feet will no longer slip;
If You spare me from Your wrath,
So that I will never trip.

I call upon You my God,
And listen to what I say;
I will give honor and laud,
While I trust and obey.

Display wonders of Your love,
Shower upon me with Your grace;
For I seek refuge thereof,
Within You as my safe place.

A refuge in my Savior,
From those who rise up against;
Because of their behavior,
Causing me to become tensed.

Hide me deep under Your wing,
From evil that threatens me;
With a solace that will bring,
Blinds so that they cannot see.
