Against the God who rules the sky I fought with hands uplifted high Despised the mention of His grace Too proud to seek a hiding place But an eternal counsel ran "Almighty love, arrest that man" I felt the arrows of disgrace And found I had no hiding place My Jesus is my hiding place Surrounding me with steadfast love and grace In death, He'll be my hiding place And I shall ever see His smiling face ♪ Indignant Justice stood in view To Sinai's fiery mount I flew But Justice cried with frowning face "This mountain is no hiding place" Ere long a heav'nly voice I heard And mercy for my soul appeared Which led me on with smiling face To Jesus Christ, my hiding place My Jesus is my hiding place Surrounding me with steadfast love and grace In death, He'll be my hiding place And I shall ever see His smiling face ♪ On Him almighty vengeance fell Enough to sink the world to hell He bore it for His chosen race And thus became their hiding place Should storms of mighty vengeance roll And shake this earth from pole to pole No flaming bolt could daunt my face For Jesus is my hiding place My Jesus is my hiding place Surrounding me with steadfast love and grace In death, He'll be my hiding place And I shall ever see His smiling face
