Through The Storm

**Intro:** I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest. **Verse 1:** For my iniquities have overwhelmed me, like a heavy burden, too heavy to bear. **Pre-Chorus:** Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my soul. I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me. **Chorus:** God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. **Hook:** I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. **Verse 2:** Because of your indignation and wrath, you have lifted me up and cast me down. **Pre-Chorus:** Deliver me from the mire, do not let me sink; rescue me from those who hate me and from the deep waters. Do not let the flood sweep over me, nor the deep swallow me up, nor the pit close its mouth over me. **Chorus:** God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. **Hook:** I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. **Bridge:** When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path. In the way where I walk, they have hidden a snare for me. **Chorus:** God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. **Hook:** I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. **Outro:** In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
