The night is closing in
There's thunder on the wind
And I'm alone again
My fears come rushing in.

The winds begin to blow
The rivers overflow
It threatens what I know
It shakes me to my soul

And I need a refuge, refuge
Yes I need a refuge, refuge
From the storm

When the hurricanes begin
Be the wall against the wind
The arms that hold me in
Ah, my refuge to the end

'Cause I need a refuge, refuge
Yes I need a refuge, refuge
Cause I need a refuge, refuge
From the storm

I know the God Who made the rain
His gentle voice can calm an angry ocean
I need to feel the strength of His hand
Take me far from this windy place.

'Cause I need a refuge, refuge
Yes I need a refuge, refuge
'Cause I need a refuge, refuge
Yes I need a refuge, refuge
From the storm
