TEXT:
MUSIC:
1. Dear refuge of my weary soul,
On Thee, when sorrows rise
On Thee, when waves of trouble roll,
My fainting hope relies
To Thee I tell each rising grief,
For Thou alone canst heal
Thy Word can bring a sweet relief,
For every pain I feel
On Thee, when sorrows rise
On Thee, when waves of trouble roll,
My fainting hope relies
To Thee I tell each rising grief,
For Thou alone canst heal
Thy Word can bring a sweet relief,
For every pain I feel
2. But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail,
I fear to call Thee mine
The springs of comfort seem to fail,
And all my hopes decline
Yet gracious God, where shall I flee?
Thou art my only trust
And still my soul would cleave to Thee
Though prostrate in the dust
I fear to call Thee mine
The springs of comfort seem to fail,
And all my hopes decline
Yet gracious God, where shall I flee?
Thou art my only trust
And still my soul would cleave to Thee
Though prostrate in the dust
3. Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face,
And shall I seek in vain?
And can the ear of sovereign grace,
Be deaf when I complain?
No still the ear of sovereign grace,
Attends the mourner's prayer
Oh may I ever find access,
To breathe my sorrows there
And shall I seek in vain?
And can the ear of sovereign grace,
Be deaf when I complain?
No still the ear of sovereign grace,
Attends the mourner's prayer
Oh may I ever find access,
To breathe my sorrows there
4. Thy mercy seat is open still,
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend Thy will,
And wait beneath Thy feet,
Thy mercy seat is open still,
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend Thy will,
And wait beneath Thy feet
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend Thy will,
And wait beneath Thy feet,
Thy mercy seat is open still,
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend Thy will,
And wait beneath Thy feet

Ps 25:1-3
25 Toa you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
2 in you I trust, O my God.
Do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
3 No one whose hope is in you
will ever be put to shame,
but they will be put to shame
who are treacherous without excuse.

Ps 25:1-3
25 1 O LORD, I give my life to you.
2 I trust in you, my God!
Do not let me be disgraced,
or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
3 No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced,
but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.

Witness & WORD
Usually, I keep this section separate. My witness section does not always interact with the WORD section. However, circumstances that have arisen all this week and come to a head today, have led me to combine the two. It is a divinely providential leading. My soul has been very troubled, beginning with my not being able to go this week to talk to my wife, and today my son-in-law shoving my daughter in the wall and the trouble brewing there. My sleep has been interrupted and I haven’t felt like sitting down to journal tonight. Yet I felt compelled, as I entered my room and cried out to God, to remember the words of Psalm 25:1-3. Like David I cried out to God asking not to be put to shame and that my enemy might not triumph over me. Yet I am reminded of the confident declaration that follows which declares that no one who hopes in the LORD will be put to shame, but the treacherous will be put to shame. So, I was comforted by this prayer and promise. As I sat down to worship I was going to sing “It is well with my soul”, but God put a different song before me just when I sat down. It was playing in the background on my computer. The song above is that song and what a blessing and comfort and answer to prayer it was as well.
