Psalm 91
Finding Refuge: Abiding in God's Protection
Lyrics
Arrows flying on the field, terror striking in the night
Facing challenges and fear in life, represented by arrows on the field and terror at night.
Nowhere to go but here, Lord I abide
Finding refuge in the presence of the Lord, choosing to stay and seek protection.
Pleading for deliverance, running from the darkest night
Pleading for rescue while escaping from the darkest moments.
Nowhere to flee but here, Lord I abide
Nowhere else to turn for safety, committing to abide in the Lord.
So I run into Your arms
Expressing a literal or metaphorical run into the embrace of God.
Lord, I run into Your arms
Repeating the act of seeking solace and protection in God's arms.
Under Your wings, I find refuge
Finding shelter and safety under the metaphorical wings of God.
Your faithfulness is my shield

Your shadow forever my covering

A thousand falling at my side, I'm trembling in the day of night
Experiencing challenges and fear, with others falling, but choosing to abide in God.
Nowhere for peace but here, Lord I abide
Seeking peace and refuge, emphasizing the commitment to remain in God.
Fleeing from the enemy, searching for my shield to fight
Actively avoiding and resisting the enemy, searching for divine protection.
Nowhere to rest but here, Lord I abide
Expressing the lack of rest elsewhere, finding peace only in abiding in God.
So I run into Your arms
