Hiding Place (Hail Sovreign Love)

Hiding Place (Hail Sovreign Love)
- Kondo Simfukwe and Jehoida Brewer

Hail Sovereign Love that first began;
The scheme to rescue fallen man.
Hail matchless free eternal grace,
that gave my soul a hiding place.

Against the God who ruled the sky,
I fought with hand uplifted high,
Despised the mention of His grace,
Too proud to seek a hiding place.

Then you came and saved me
Your love made me alive. Alive!
It's Your blood that shades me
Grace awakes me to life. Alive!
You are my hiding place.

Enwrapped in thick Egyptian night,
and fond of darkness more than light,
Madly I ran the sinful race,
Secure without a hiding place.

But then th'eternal counsel ran,
"Almighty Love, arrest that man!"
I felt that arrows of distress,
And found I had no hiding place.

Then you came and saved me
Your love made me alive. Alive!
It's Your blood that shades me
Grace awakes me to life. Alive!
You are my hiding place.

Indignant justice stood in view,
To Sinai's fiery mount I flew,
But justice cried with frowning face,
"This Mountain is no hiding place!"

But then a heavenly voice I heard,
And Mercy's angel for appeared.
Who led on with gentle pace
To Jesus Christ, my hiding place.

Then you came and saved me
Your love made me alive. Alive!
It's Your blood that shades me
Grace awakes me to life. Alive!
You are my hiding place


I will hide in You.
