[Verse 1]
D A Bm
Against the God who rules the sky
D F#m A
I fought with hands uplifted high;
D A Bm
Despised the mention of His grace,
D A D
Too proud to seek a hiding place!
A D Bm
But an eternal counsel ran:
A D C#dim
"Almighty love, arrest that man!"
D A Bm
I felt the arrows of disgrace
D A D
And found I had no hiding place.
[Verse 2]
D A Bm
Indignant Justice stood in view;
D F#m A
To Sinai's fiery mount I flew;
D A Bm
But Justice cried with frowing face,
D A D
"This mountain is no hiding place."
A D Bm
Ere long a heavenly voice I heard,
A D C#dim
And mercy for my soul appeared,
D A Bm
Which led me on with smiling face
D A D
To Jesus Christ, my hiding place.
[Chorus]
Bm A D Bm A
My Jesus is my hiding place,
F#m Dsus2 A
Surrounding me with steadfast love and grace.
Bm A D Bm G
In death He'll be my hiding place
Bm Dsus2 A D
And I shall ever see His smiling face.
[Verse 3]
D A Bm
On Him almighty vengeance fell:
D F#m A
Enough to sink the world to hell,
D A Bm
He bore it for His chosen race,
D A D
And thus became their hiding place.
A D Bm
Should storms of mighty vengeance roll
A D C#dim
And shake this earth from pole to pole,
D A Bm
No flaming bolt could daunt my face
D A D
For Jesus is my hiding place.
