1
I run for dear life to God, I'll never live to regret it.
2
Do what you do so well: get me out of this mess and up on my feet. Put your ear to the ground and listen, give me space for salvation.
3
Be a guest room where I can retreat; you said your door was always open! You're my salvation - my vast, granite fortress.
4
My God, free me from the grip of Wicked, from the clutch of Bad and Bully.
5
You keep me going when times are tough - my bedrock, God, since my childhood.
