There is a secret place of refuge
For God's children who are distressed
There He shelters the broken hearted
And there He comforts the oppressed

Under His wing He cradles you closely
On His Everlasting Arms you can rely
So just take rest in His bed of feathers
Till life's storms have passed you by

He knows your needs before you ask Him
He knows this mountain is hard to scale
So put all of your trust in the Master
If you do, you cannot fail

He has control of your situation
Renewed strength He provides each day
Your prayers have reached Heaven's portals
The answer is already on the way

We wonder why men's hearts are tried
And we may never know the reason why
But on this thing you can rely
He will never leave your side

He's heard the mourning in your sigh
He saw each tear fall from your eye
He felt the pain that made you cry
Rest assured, His tender love is ever nigh
