The storms beat their angry drums.
But above the noise, your voice calls clear.
You seat the trembling beside your throne.

The songs of pride fall hollow and thin.
But you sing a new song in the ruin.
You frame my soul with steady chords.
You stitch your joy into my coat.

You lift the faces streaked with rain.
You bind the wounds unseen by men.
You call the lost back to your arms.
You fold the broken into your feast.

Today I run into your goodness, Lord.
Today I hide inside your shield of light.
You are the tower taller than fear.
You are the rock that cannot be cracked.
You are the stronghold of my peace.

Today I walk beneath your brand of love.
You are the keeper of my breath.

But your voice clears the rising clouds.
Your hand steadies the slipping ground.
Your name binds my spirit safe.

Today I lean against your word.
You are the wall before the fire.
You are the banner over my shame.
You are the glory that calls me home.

The morning breaks against tired skies.
The fields whisper of uncertain days.
Still your light carves gold into the clouds.
Still your salvation steadies the winds.
Still your strength builds the morning firm.

The shadows creep along broken walls.
The doubts knock at quiet doors.

It drags steps slow across the floor.
But your hand lifts the weary heart.
Your light cuts through the thickest dark.
Your breath frees the stumbling path.

When the battle cries from distant hills,
When the thunder shakes the valley ground,
You ride the winds to meet my need.
You steady my knees for the climb.
You plant your peace in my lungs.

Today I walk in your fearless light.
Today I rise on your faithful arm.
You are my salvation’s shield.
You are the music of my courage.
You are the song above my fear.
