♫I Have A Shelter♫

For those of you who don't know, when I listen to my iPod, I don't listen to random things. Now sometimes I do, but most of the time it's either an artist, or a genre that I'm in the mood for. So like before a basketball game it would either be R&B or Rock. Or on the way to church I listen to Christian, to get my mind focused on God. Or sometimes I am just in the mood for an artist, such as my favorite Josh Turner, and I put them on shuffle.
Well, at the moment I've been listening to all our Sovereign Grace music. There was a plus side on having your dad on the worship team! haha He got pretty much all the cds. So on my iPod, I have 126 Sovereign Grace songs. All very good! But at the moment, there are two that I love more than the others... "Completely Done" (which I posted about before) and then "I Have A Shelter".
For any Redeemer Church people reading this, Mr. Robert sang this when we moved into the school.
Before, I had always skipped over this one for some reason, and gone to the ones I liked. It's a great song! I wish I had not skipped over it when I was going through my hard time at the start of the year.
The lyrics are so comforting, and so true! Hard times will come, but He will not forsake us!

♫I have a shelter in the storm
When troubles pour upon me
Though fears are rising like a flood
My soul can rest securely
O Jesus, I will hide in You
My place of peace and solace
No trial is deeper than Your love
That comforts all my sorrows

I have a shelter in the storm
When all my sins accuse me
Though justice charges me with guilt
Your grace will not refuse me
O Jesus, I will hide in You
Who bore my condemnation
I find my refuge in Your wounds
For there I find salvation

I have a shelter in the storm
When constant winds would break me
For in my weakness, I have learned
Your strength will not forsake me
O Jesus, I will hide in You
The One who bears my burdens
With faithful hands that cannot fail
You’ll bring me home to heaven
