Safe Retreat
by Matthew Smith

Album: Hiding Place

O God whose tender mercy hears
A sinner's humble cry
Whose hand so gently wipes the tears
From sorrow's weeping eye

Chorus:
But will my guilty fears prevail
And drive me from Your feet?
O let not this dear refuge fail
This only safe retreat
You are my safe retreat

See, Lord before Your throne of grace
This wretched wanderer mourn
Have You not bid me seek Your face?
Have You not said "Return"?

Bridge:
Oh shine, oh shine, oh shine on this darkened heart
With beams of mercy shine and let Your voice impart
A taste of joy Divine, as you serve the bread and wine
You are my only safe retreat
