Video: “My Sweet Refuge” – Roo Panes

I don’t think You want grand gestures, just a simple faithful friend, someone who will walk it with You all the way to the end, someone who can live and love You, singing how I’ve come to know

You’re like the sun that gives the moon its glow

You’re my, oh, You are my, my sweet refuge.  You’re my, oh, You are my, my sweet refuge and I know the wolves keep circling but we’ll leave them chasing tails ’cause You’re my, oh, You are my, my sweet refuge.

So I kiss farewell to drama; My everything is You, and after all the things that You’ve done, oh, Your love’s been proved.  I’m not going back there; no, I’ve come to know

You’re like the sun that gives the moon its glow

You’re my, oh, You are my, my sweet refuge.  You’re my, oh, You are my, my sweet refuge and I know the wolves keep circling but I’ll be safe with You ’cause You’re my, oh, You are my, my sweet refuge.

I need you, I need You, I need You, I need You, I need You Lord, every day.  I need You, I need You, I need You, I need You, I need you.

Song: “Stay Close to Me” – Margaret Becker

Lately I’ve been finding comfort in this truth: I am just a child of need who’s found her hope in You.  Stay close to me.

Video: “Abide With Me” – Audrey Assad

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide.  The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.  When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.  Heaven’s morning breads, and earth’s vain shadows flee.  In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Video: “Stay With Me” – Roo Panes

Well I’ve been everywhere, but I’ve been nowhere; It was all viridian in permission blood.  There was a void before me; it was as deep as truth, because all the world couldn’t hide the view of you.

Stay with me!  Oh stay with me; you’re right where you are supposed to be!

You’re y Eldorado; you’re my holy grail; I found my treasure through the rain and hail, knowing I was taller when upon my knees, knowing you’d come back to me if I just said please!

Oh you take me back to the morning light; You take me back to the morning light, the very moment that I found my sight, You’re forever by my side.
