Safe in the shelter of his love;
For his goodness and his mercy shall encompass me around,
Safe in the shelter of his love.
Chorus:
Safe in the shelter of his love,
Bright are the sunny skies above,
Light in darkness will appear,
O how sweet my refuge here,
Safe in the shelter of his love.
2 In the riven Rock of ages,
I am hiding from the storm,
Safe in the shelter of his love;
And I know what he has promised, he is able to perform,
Safe in the shelter of his love. [Chorus]
3 Weary sinner, come to Jesus, if you really long to be
Safe in the shelter of his love;
He will take you to his bosom, with forgiveness full and free;
Safe in the shelter of his love. [Chorus] Tune Title: [What a blessed Friend is Jesus, what a refuge I have found!]
