Sanctuary

I come to this place of rest to sit in your presence, to lay out my doubts 
before You like a map of wilderness proportions
You knew I was lost; my feet slipping
You saw me stumble and fall but you reached out to rescue me
It was you who gave me the strength to cry out, and it was you who dried my tears
You directed me to the truth, rebuking me first through a beloved friend
but I needed that, for I was believing all the lies of the evil one 
He tempted me to look at fear; see the darkness and know despair
He robbed me of my peace and joy - he disgruntled me!
But you knew this and it grieved Your heart to see and you rescued me
I love you my rescuer – my King
You are my place of victory
So I lift my arms in awe, I raise my heart in praise
I pick up my banner and dance for you have given me a new stance
I love you Lord, yes, I love you Lord
