I was recently going through my unfinished songs, looking to see if there was anything worth revisiting or if there were any ideas that were worth pinching for another song when I can across this song that I wrote about 8 years ago.

I had a verse and chorus but looking at it I decided it needed at least another verse before it could be considered complete (as opposed to finished). It was part of an extraordinary burst of new writing which saw me write three new songs as well as work on this one.

So I’ve added another verse, and I may add another but I have enough of a song to give it an outing and get some feedback. Let me know your thoughts.

Verse 1

Hear me, turn your ear to me O God
Answer me I pray
Saviour, I seek refuge in your love
From the darkness all around

Chorus

You are the rock on which I build my life
I know your words are true
though the world around grows darker still
I will stand secure in you

Verse 2

Keep me as the apple of your eye
May I find myself in you
Hide me in the shadow of your wings
May I stand secure in you
