When life’s eventual calamities gather and appear
Providing safe refuge, God emerges without fear
Our Lord remains sovereign over His domain
Assembling Christians to worship in His name
Rock of infinite refuge and mighty fortress to see
Hearing God’s Holy words, coming to rescue thee
Dark and evil situations linger and wait to thrive
Offering worthless promises, the Enemy strives
His hollow assurances hide a dishonest net
Waiting to capture us, continually a threat
Righteous wisdom and truth reside with our Lord
Witnessing our sinful afflictions, like a river to ford
God never gives up on anyone, never makes a fuss
Standing between the Enemy and his devilish lust
Our Lord commands us to deposit trust in Him
Allowing His countenance to shine through sin
Abundant goodness will reach out from Heaven
Hearing our supplications and prayers, so driven
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ comes to save
Defeating forever sin’s darkness and the grave
His glory spreads to cover each corner of the earth
Saving our resurrected lives with a heavenly berth
All confidently march in spirit to accept His grace
Seeking Christ’s salvation, with rich mercy to taste
Our Lord comes again to preserve His saints
Prompting all Christians to be faithful mates
God stands ready, listening to everyone’s cause
Sacrificing Jesus for us, we kneel without pause
Our Father wants His children to be saved
Desiring that all will return to Him one day

The foundation for this poem comes from Psalms 31 and 51. Here are a few of my favorite verses from them.
- Psalm 31:3-4: “You are indeed my rock and my fortress; for your name’s sake lead me and guide me, take me out of the net that is hidden for me.”
- Psalm 51:2-3: “Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.”
