My Hiding Place

Verse 1

Against the God who rules the sky
I fought with hands uplifted high
Despised the mention of His grace
Too proud to seek a hiding place
But an eternal counsel ran
'Almighty love arrest that man'
I felt the arrows of disgrace
And found I had no hiding place

Verse 2

Indignant Justice stood in view
To Sinai's fiery mount I flew
But Justice cried with frowning face
'This mountain is no hiding place'
Ere long a heav'nly voice I heard
And mercy for my soul appeared
Which led me on with smiling face
To Jesus Christ my hiding place

Chorus

My Jesus is my hiding place
Surrounding me with steadfast love and grace
In death He'll be my hiding place
And I shall ever see His smiling face

Verse 3

On Him almighty vengeance fell
Enough to sink the world to hell
He bore it for His chosen race
And thus became their hiding place
Should storms of mighty vengeance roll
And shake this earth from pole to pole
No flaming bolt could daunt my face
For Jesus is my hiding place
