Our Hiding Place

Hiding Place

Steven Curtis Chapman

In the distance I can see the storm clouds, coming my way;
And I need to find a shelter before it starts to rain.
I turn and run to You, Lord,
You're the only place to go
Where unfailing love surrounds me
When I need it most.

You're my Hiding Place.
Safe in your embrace,
I'm protected from the storm that rages.
When the waters rise, and I run to hide,
Lord, in You I find, my Hiding Place.

I'm not asking you to take away my troubles, Lord,
'Cause it's through the stormy weather
I learn to trust you more.
But I thank You for the promise
That I have come to know:
Your unfailing love surrounds me
When I need it most!

You're my hiding place!
Safe in your embrace,
I'm protected from the storm that rages.
When the waters rise, and I run to hide,
Lord, in You I find my Hiding Place!

So, let Your children seek you while you may be found
'Cause You're our only Refuge when the rain comes pouring down!

You're our Hiding Place!
Safe in Your embrace,
We're protected from the storm that rages.
When the waters rise, and we run to hide,
Lord, in You, we find our Hiding Place!

Lord, in You, we find our Hiding Place!

Lord, You are our Hiding Place!

Lord, you are my Hiding Place!

Let me hide myself in You.

This is one of the songs I chose in remembrance of my daughter, Abigail. It was played at her funeral. To this day, these words are such a comfort and a promise to me! How awesome it is to know, without and beyond any shadow of a doubt, that my Lord, the Almighty God of the universe, is MY hiding place. It is in this Cleft of the Rock that I find shelter during difficult times.

Isa.26:4~
Trust in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD Jehovah is everlasting strength.

In this verse, "everlasting strength" is literally, "the rock of ages". Jesus Christ is our Rock-- Our shelter in the time of storms!


Psalm 61:2~
From the ends of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

This is my prayer, not just for today, but for every day, every temptation, every trial. May the Lord grant me the wisdom to always remember His promises when those stormy winds begin to blow in my life!


My heart and my thanks go out to all my friends and family today. I know there are many across this nation, even across the world, that are praying for me and my family today. May the Lord bless each of you for mourning with those that mourn and weeping with those that weep! Your prayers are felt and appreciated so very much!
