For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
If you personally know the Lord, you probably have experienced His strength
and shelter when you needed it most.
The passing of time often brings with it unexpected storms.
Thank God, He is our shelter.
A Shelter in the Time of Storm

The Lord’s our Rock, in Him we hide, — A Shelter in the time of storm; — Secure whatever ill betide, — A Shelter in the time of storm.
CHORUS:
Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land, — A weary land, a weary land; — Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land, — A Shelter in the time of storm.
A shade by day, defense by night, — A Shelter in the time of storm; — No fears alarm, no foes afright, — A Shelter in the time of storm.
The raging storms may round us beat, — A Shelter in the time of storm; — We’ll never leave our safe Retreat, — A Shelter in the time of storm.
O Rock divine, O Refuge dear, — A Shelter in the time of storm; — Be Thou our Helper ever near, — A Shelter in the time of storm.
Vernon J, Charlesworth 1880
