A Shelter in the Time of Storm
Piano solo of an old hymn --improvised
Just posting our beautiful music for you to check out and get blessed real good.
MP3 music by Ensemble Mgmt. Christian artists is available for listening here. We hope our spiritual side shows the love of God in Christ Jesus.
Story behind the song
For anyone who is going through something. Take heart. God abides.
This is one of the favorites of the Seventh Day Adventist Church where I play every Sabbath (Saturday.) Although improvised, go ahead and sing along. Music for this hymn: #528 in the SDA Hymnal.
Also, singer Wayne Pascall has an acapella medley of the this song with the spiritual, "Jesus is a Rock in a Weary Land" here on SoundClick.com.
Trust in God who protects and keeps us from any hurt, harm or danger. He does not allow the sun to smite us by day, nor the moon by night.
BTW - 'Givin' a shout-out to Pastor Dewey Smith, Jr. (see YouTube.) This would be a perfect "old song" for him to lead the congregation in singing.
Lyrics
lyrics by Vernon J. Charlesworth, circa 1880.
Verse 1:
The Lord’s our Rock, in Him we hide,
A shelter in the time of storm;
Secure whatever may betide,
A shelter in the time of storm.
Refrain:
Mighty Rock in a weary land,
Cooling shade on the burning sand,
Faithful guide for the pilgrim band--
A shelter in the time of storm.
Verse 2:
A shade by day, defense by night,
A shelter in the time of storm;
No fears alarm, no foes afright,
A shelter in the time of storm.
Refrain.
Verse 3:
The raging storms may round us beat,
A shelter in the time of storm
We find in God a safe retreat,
A shelter in the time of storm.
Refrain.
Verse 4:
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.
