Zoe Worship - Refuge Lyrics
Lyrics
All my life You've been faithful
I hide my heart in Your shadow
I have no fear, You are with me
Your presence will go before me
Through all my mistakes
Your love stays the same
Yeah, yeah
I will run to You
You're my direction
I will trust in You
'Cause You're my refuge
I will run to You
You're my direction
I will trust in You
'Cause You're my refuge, God
You're my refuge
You're my refuge, God
You're my refuge
I will not fear the night or day
You made a way where there was no way
I decided to follow You
You decided to honor me
Through all my mistakes
Your love stays the same
Yeah, yeah
I will run to You
You're my direction
I will trust in You
'Cause You're my refuge
I will run to You
You're my direction
I will trust in You
'Cause You're my refuge, God
You're my refuge
You're my refuge, God
You're my refuge

Refuge (Psalm 91)
Meaning & Inspiration
"Refuge," by Zoe Worship, is a powerful declaration of unwavering faith and the profound security found in God's presence, released on February 9, 2023. The song’s essence is deeply rooted in the biblical concept of finding solace and protection in the Almighty, echoing the sentiment found throughout Scripture, particularly in passages like Psalm 91, which serves as a direct inspiration for the song’s title and thematic core. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life marked by God's consistent faithfulness, an assurance that allows the singer to hide their heart in God's shadow, free from fear because of His omnipresence and the promise that His presence goes before them, clearing the path. This profound trust isn't born from perfection, but from the humbling realization that God's love remains steadfast through every stumble and mistake, a love that never wavers. The core message is an active surrender, a conscious decision to run towards God, accepting Him as the ultimate direction and anchor of trust, for He is their refuge. This isn't a passive hope, but an intentional choice to trust in the One who has proven Himself through every circumstance. The song further emphasizes this by stating, "I will not fear the night or day," a bold proclamation of victory over anxiety, grounded in the belief that God is the Creator who makes paths where none existed, and in His divine orchestration, He chooses to honor those who choose to follow Him. The repeated affirmation of God as "refuge" serves as a powerful mantra, solidifying the central theme of safety and belonging in Him. This resonates powerfully with verses like Isaiah 41:10, which assures, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Furthermore, the idea of God making a way where there was no way is a direct reflection of His miraculous power, seen countless times in biblical narratives, from the parting of the Red Sea to the provision of manna in the wilderness. The commitment to follow and the subsequent honoring by God finds a parallel in Hebrews 11:6, stating, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." "Refuge" is not just a song; it is a testament to the transformative power of dwelling in God's promises, a heartfelt encouragement to embrace Him as the unshakeable foundation in all of life's journeys.
