Stronghold - Mehida

Here I stand

Alone

No-one by my side

I’m a dread to my friends

And everyone

Flees from me

But in You I put my trust

Let your face shine on me

My times are in your hands

Deliver me from my enemies

'Cause You are

My stronghold

My fortress

My shield and strength

When everything else fails

My eyes grow weak with sorrow

My soul and my body with grief

As I fall like a dying sparrow

And I feel there’s no one to reach

But in You I put my trust

Let your face shine on me

My times are in your hands

Deliver me from my enemies

How great is your goodness

Which you bestow in the sight of men

On those who take refuge in you

In the shelter of your presence you hide them

From the intrigues of men;

In your dwelling you keep them safe

From accusing tongues
