[Verse 1]
   A
We never know which way the wind 
will blow,
Nor when or where the next turmoil 
     E
will be.
    D            E                
But he's a solid rock when 
  A
troubles grow,
         E                         
And he's holding out a saving hand 
    A
for me.

He'll be a refuge in the storm;
                         E
He'll be a beacon in the night;
       D               E          
In the chilly winds of doubt he'll
          A
 keep you warm;
     E                             
When you can't find your way he'll 
        A
be your light.
