I can feel it coming over me
All the weight of what this fear can bring
I know on my own I can?t survive and I?m fading fast now
I?m closing in on what?s in store for me
All the rest in your security
I?m holding on to the words you speak
And you?re speaking clear now
I?m running fast to seek your face
Head first I dive into your grace
You are my fortress,
You are the refuge where I hide
You are the strength when I can?t fight
You are the only one I rest my life in
You are the only hope I find
You are my only peace of mind
You are the only one I rest my life in
I?m taking hold of what?s in front of me
A place where I can rest my weary feet
There?s no other place that I can go
So I?m waiting here now
I?m letting go what the world will bring
A sanctuary that will never breathe
I found my heart in that place before
But I?ll never go back
I?m running fast to seek your face
Head first I dive into your grace
You are my fortress
You are the refuge where I hide.
You are the strength when I can?t fight
You are the only one I rest my life in
You are the only hope I find
You are my only peace of mind
You are the only one I rest my life in
I get lost within that place
The place where I?ll always wish I stay, oh
Oh, You are my fortress,
You are the refuge
You are the only hope I find
You are the only one I rest my life in, oh
You are my fortress
You are the refuge
You are my only peace of mind
You are the only one I rest my life in
Oh, You are the only one
Only one I rest my life in Lord
You are my hope
My strength, my life, my peace
My rock, my joy, my everything now, oh
You are the refuge where I hide
You are the only one I rest my life in
