My Hiding Place (CHORDS) by David L. Ward

[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!
