David’s 12-verse meditation on the soul that finds rest in God alone - a call to silence, trust, and refuge that speaks directly to anxiety, restlessness, and the temptation to place weight on human power or wealth.

Full sung version coming soon.

Lyrics

My soul rests in God alone My salvation is from him

He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress I will never be greatly shaken How long will you assault a man Would all of you throw him down like a leaning wall

They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place They delight in lies They bless with their mouth but they curse inwardly

My soul, wait in silence for God alone For my expectation is from him He alone is my rock and my salvation My fortress, I will not be shaken

My salvation and my honour is with God The rock of my strength and my refuge is in God Trust in him at all times, you people Pour out your heart before him

God is a refuge for us Surely men of low degree are just a breath And men of high degree are a lie

My soul rests in God alone My salvation is from him He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress

God has spoken once Twice I have heard this That power belongs to God And to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness
