​​The Lord's our Rock; in Him we hide,
A Shelter in the time of storm;
Secure whatever ill betide,
A Shelter in the time of storm.
Refrain:
O Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,
A weary land, a weary land;
O Jesus is a Rock in a weary land -
A Shelter in the time of storm.

A Shade by day, Defense by night,
A Shelter in the time of storm;
No fears alarm, no foes affright,
A Shelter in the time of storm. (Refrain)
​
O Rock Divine, O Refuge dear,
A Shelter in the time of storm;
Be Thou our Helper ever near,
A Shelter in the time of storm. (Refrain)

Isaiah 25
4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time (During Verse 1), make remarks about the turbulent and tumultuous times in which we live. There are many problems and many challenges that each of us must face. Our families are affected by sudden loss of loved ones, illness, financial issues, and problems on a global level that affect us as well. Emphasize that today's scripture gives us hope that in all these things God is with us.
2. As the song continues, (During Verses 2-3) read the scripture found in the book of Isaiah 25:4-9, and Mark 4:35-39. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1-3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.
