I hide no hope in passing winds.
Your tower is the song I sing.
Your walls are the arms I trust.

My voice grows small against the roar.
But you lift my head with gentle fire.
You bend your ear to my cry.
You strengthen my soul to stand.

The rivers flood the valley roads.
The night blots out the trusted trails.
But you open doors through heavy seas.
You clear the dust from tired eyes.
You set my feet on solid ground.

Today I call you my fortress, God.
Today I run into your open gates.
You are the rock under my fear.
You are the shield over my heart.
You are the song that holds me still.

I cannot trace tomorrow’s miles.
Yet you walk before my tired eyes.
You seal my going out with grace.
You make my coming in with joy.

Today I breathe inside your shield.
Today I rise beneath your care.
You are the guard of every breath.
You are the keeper of my soul.
You are the promise that will not fail.

Teach me in the silence of trust.
Guide me by the wisdom of love.
