Safe Retreat - Kings Kaleidoscope, Braille

When the storm clouds rise

And the sky is dark

And I’m pressed with anxious care

I’ve a safe retreat in the strong, high tower

For no ill can harm me there

I’ll hide in Your safe retreat

Hide in Your safe retreat

When the storm clouds fly

'Til they pass me by

I will hide in Your safe retreat

When the lightnings flash

And the thunders roar

And the storms in fury be

When they seem so sure to engulf my soul

Then I’ll hide in Your safe retreat

Soon the storms will pass

And the sky will clear

And my rest be calm and sweet

I will trust and wait with no anxious fear

For I’ll hide in Your safe retreat

I’ll hide in Your safe retreat

Hide in Your safe retreat

When the storm clouds fly

'Til they pass me by

I will hide in Your safe retreat

Where have I been when it seems like

I’m hiding under a rock?

I’m hiding under my rock

I’ll seek then not hide, I’m too weak to speak

In the stillness of prayer there’s no secrets

God already knows my longing, my yearning

My groaning, my burning, my scars and my hurting

It’s no surprise to Him, His watchful eye’ll see it

I’m only fooling myself when I conceal it

Apart from grace I would never seek Your sovereign face

Next to You the only place to keep my heart chaste

Otherwise I chase idols to my disgrace

And waste time tryna fix what I can only break

It’s when I’m broken that I’m standing open-handed

Reaching out to my Father, knowing You understand me

In Your arms I can safely rest

You’re the God who gives life from death

None of this is wasted

Still becoming who we are

Ordinary people

Extraordinary scars

From a million places

Like a million shooting stars

We belong to hope now

Heaven isn’t all that far

Hide in Your safe retreat

Hide in Your safe retreat

When the storm clouds fly

'Til they pass me by

I will hide in Your safe retreat

I’ll hide in Your safe retreat

Hide in Your safe retreat

When the storm clouds fly

'Til they pass me by

I’ll hide in Your safe retreat

Hide in Your safe retreat

Hide in Your safe retreat

When the storm clouds fly

'Til they pass me by

I’ll hide in Your safe retreat
