MY DELIVERER

Through daily cares and dangers,
When care weighs on my soul;
When friends misunderstand me,
And sorrow takes its toll;

When sin comes in to plague me,
When sickness gets me down;
When the joy of Christ eludes me,
And it’s easier to frown;

When even trifles stun me,
Or in times of deepest grief,
There’s one who always knows my need,
And how to bring relief.

He understands my sorrow;
He knows my every care;
In my darkest hour, whate’er it be;
My Lord is waiting there.

He’s my Rock; my Mighty Fortress;
He’s my Shield; my Tower High;
He’s the Horn of my Salvation,
And He’ll keep me ever nigh!
