Encircled, ensnared My enemies have laid siege to me Oppressed, inflicted Poisonous arrows aimed at me Victimized, terrorized Those who hate me gather for attack Grieved, deceived Wrapped in drapes so black There is but one To whom I can run I know only of one place Where I'll truly be safe I'm being chased like An animal through darkened woods Vicious beasts Hounding at my tail Ominous shadows Crouching down over me Their hands of ice Stretching out to grasp my heart Who can save me Who'll release me Where can I flee Where, but to thee But I'll escape from my foes From the stalking wolves From these haunting ravens I've found a safe haven The Lord I will proclaim I hide within his name My fortress in times of war I find protection within your walls My keep, my stronghold Well tried since days of old My shield, my eternal defence My refuge, my tower of strength Who can save me Who'll release me Where can I flee Where, but to thee In here evil cannot reach These gates they cannot breach Fog of deception cannot infiltrate Unholy weapons cannot penetrate You are my sanctuary Your love, unconditionally Jesus Christ So who will save you?
