TAKE REFUGE (A miktam of David)
A 44 hundred dollar smile / And a heart of gold / A twinkle left in your eye / And it always showed / Hunting, fishing, and shooting trap / Last time you hit every one / Lovin' when they say he looks like his dad / Cause he's my son / When you fall / You call / Keep me safe Oh God / Safe Oh God / For in You / I take refuge / Keep me safe Oh God / Safe Oh God / For in You / I take refuge / You say you lived a great life / You loved everything about it / And what's so hard is now that you're gone / It's just so hard to admit / See I remember how I found you there / Sleeping in your chair / And when you wouldn't wake / My heart stopped / And in your hands was a prayer / When you fall / You call / Keep me safe Oh God / Safe Oh God / For in You / I take refuge / Keep me safe Oh God / Safe Oh God / For in You / I take refuge / Take refuge / You still inspire others to live life full and bright / You still inspire your little brother to walk in the light / When you fall / You call / Keep me safe Oh God / Safe Oh God / For in You / I take refuge / Keep me safe Oh God / Safe Oh God / For in You / I take refuge
