Lyrics
I will dwell in the secret place of the Most High
I will stay in the shadow of Your wings
For Lord, You are my refuge
My tower of strength
My hope is in You
Secure, I stand
You will deliver me
Your truth will be my shield
Jesus, You cover me
In Your love, no fear prevails
No evil, no terror, no arrow, no plague
Shall ever come near me
For You are my safety, my hiding place
Jesus, I trust in You
Jesus, I trust in You
Jesus, I trust in You
Jesus, I trust in You

Meaning & Inspiration
New Creation Worship’s ‘Psalm 91’ turns the psalm’s language of shelter into a direct confession of trust in Jesus. The opening lines draw on the secret place of the Most High and the shadow of divine wings, then name God as refuge, strength, and hope. Security in the song does not rest on favorable circumstances; it rests on the character and protection of God.
Images of a shield, hiding place, and covering develop the theme of safety. The list of evil, terror, arrows, and plague closely follows the dangers named in Psalm 91, while the repeated statement of trust provides the song’s central response. The lyric does not deny the reality of fear or trouble. Instead, it places those threats beneath the promise of divine care. By closing with the same confession several times, the song presents trust as a settled posture: Jesus remains the source of refuge, love, and courage when danger appears near.
