I anticipate His mercy when trials come my way
And I know that right behind is His sweet grace 
So when struggles overtake me and I'm up against a wall 
I can trust His purpose for this trial is good

He will never leave me in a place of deep despair
He'll always pick me up when I fall down
So when life is getting harder and it seems to not make sense 
There's no doubt in my mind He'll bring me out.

He's my refuge, He's my fortress
He's my strong and mighty tower
He's an ever present help in time of need
He's my Savior, He's my healer
He's my Lord forever
He's the one who gave me life eternally

So lift your head and shout His praise when trials come your way
And know He's working all things for your good
The God of all the heavens will never let you down
He'll see you calmly right through to the end

His plan for you is good 
His love for you is kind
His joy will fill your heart abundantly 
His peace will come and sooth you
His patience will abound 
His mercy and His grace will never fail

He's my refuge, He's my fortress
He's my strong and mighty tower
He's an ever present help in time of need
He's my Savior, He's my healer
He's my Lord forever
He's the one who gave me life eternally
I anticipate His mercy when trials come my way
And I know that right behind is His sweet grace
