Verse
In Your presence I will dwell
In the shelter of You the Most High
In Your presence I will sing
You are faithful, the God who covers me
With love and mercy
Chorus
You are my refuge, You are my fortress
And I will trust You, and I will trust You
In times of trouble, still You are with me
And I will trust You, and I will trust You

Meaning & Inspiration
Psalm 91 centers on security found in God's presence. The lyrics describe the Most High as both shelter and covering, while the singer responds with trust. Refuge and fortress imagery gives the song's confidence a steady foundation: trouble may be present, but divine faithfulness remains.
The repeated declaration, 'I will trust,' turns the song's Psalm-based imagery into a personal confession. It does not pretend that faith removes hardship; instead, it places God's companyat the center of it. The combination of presence, mercy, and protection closely echoes Psalm 91 and presents worship as a quiet, persistent act of confidence in God. Its compact language also keeps protection tied to relationship with God: shelter is found in divine presence, and trust answers mercy rather than denying the reality of danger.
