A Fortress Sure

The one who knows what it is to dwell in the secret place of the Most High has a fortress sure, a dwelling place secure, free from pressures within and without. That fortress is not in an ethereal, far-off never-never land but in the depths of his spirit; Christ dwells in us and we dwell in Him, not in theory but in a glorious reality.

I dwell within a castle sure,
A strong and mighty tower,
Hidden in the heart of God,
Protected by His power.

And here within my castle walls
My heart is calm all day,
While outside rage the rain and wind
And comes whatever may.

Many's the storm that's come and gone,
The tempests that raged and roared;
Safe, I, within my castle walls,
Sheltered in my Lord.
