Matisyahu - Refuge


Song Lyrics Biblical Reference

Ani auni vevyone. Hashem yashav li.
Ezrati, umafalti, atau.
As for me, I am poor and destitute.
Hashem my G-d will think about me.
My help, my rescuer, you are.
 

My word is like a hammer like a shattering rock,
crack through your heart and take the evil apart

Jeremiah 23:29
- Is not my word like as a fire?
saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh
the rock in pieces?

From the end of the earth unto you I call,

Isaiah 43:6
- I will say to the north, Give up;
and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons
from far, and my daughters from the ends of the
earth;

Time and again I fall, back to you I crawl
 

You have been a refuge for me
A tower of strength in the face of the enemy

2 Samuel 22:3
- The God of my rock; in him will
I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my
salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my
saviour; thou savest me from violence.
Psalm 18:2 - The LORD is my rock, and my fortress,
and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I
will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my
salvation, and my high tower.

Enemy, enemy lines I find
I let myself get tied up too many times
You can't have my heart I'm taking back what's mine
I know it lie just smoke in your eye
And you saved my soul from the other side

When faint grows my heart to a rock
That too hard for me to climb alone lead me
For you have been a refuge
 

With you I smash a troop
And with my G-d I leap over a wall

2 Samuel 22:30 - For by thee I have run through
a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
Psalm 18:29 - For by thee I have run through a
troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

May the king answer you on the day that you call
Psalm 86:7 - In the day of my trouble I will
call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
Psalm 102:2 - Hide not thy face from me in the
day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear
unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.

Stand tall, battle yawl, the clouds crawl low, all stalled,
Heavens lay draped over New York like a prayer shawl,
The holy one enthroned upon the praises of Israel

Pathways of my heart clogged like a traffic jam
From the start, I want to take the blockage apart
