Stronghold
For weeks four and five of our Lenten Musical reflections, we take a temporary break from the Vigil Project to highlight one of the UK’s brightest Catholic Singer/Songwriters – Edwin Fawcett.
Having started through involvement with Youth 2000, Edwin’s ministry is a real labour of love and reveals his commitment to evangelisation and proclamation of God’s Word through music. His music is a unique mix of soul and jazz, infused with reflective tones, with lyrics that bring the words of the Bible and of Catholic tradition to life.
Both soulful and uplifting, Stronghold is a reminder of God’s power to steady us – He is our rock and our protector.
Be blessed by this stirring composition.
Lyrics
When cares increase in my heart
Your consolation calms my soul
And when I think i have lost my foothold
Lord, your mercy holds me up
The Lord will be a stronghold
The Lord will be a stronghold
My God will be
The rock where I
Take refuge
The Lord will be a stronghold
The Lord will be a stronghold
My God will be
The rock where I
Take refuge
Lord Jesus,
You came that we might have eternal life. You came to bring light into the world and to show us, by your death on the cross, the depth of your love.
Be a stronghold for us in times of fear, of worry and of doubt. Come and be with us to calm us and guide us.
May I always seek refuge in you.
Amen
