Where Could I Go?

Psalm 32:7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. 

Do you need a hiding place from this troubled world? 


Well, God is your place to run to.


Where Could I Go?

___________________


Living below, in this old sinful world,    —   Hardly a comfort can afford.    —   Striving alone, to face temptation's sword.    —   Where could I go but to the Lord?


CHORUS:

Where could I go, oh where could I go?    —   Seeking a refuge for my soul.    —   Needing a friend, to help me in the end,    —   Where could I go, but to the Lord?


Neighbors are kind, I love them everyone.    —   We get along in sweet accord.    —   But when my soul, needs manner from above,    —   Where could I go but to the Lord?

.

Life here is grand, with friends I love so dear,    —   Comfort I get from God's own word.    —   Yet when I face this chilling hand of death,    —   Where could I go but to the Lord?


J. B. Coats   1907
