The Lord’s our rock, in Him we hide, A shelter in the time of storm; Secure whatever ill betide, A shelter in the time of storm.
Refrain
Oh, Jesus is a rock in a weary land, A weary land, a weary land; Oh, Jesus is a rock in a weary land, A shelter in the time of storm.
A shade by day, defense by night, A shelter in the time of storm; No fears alarm, no foes afright, A shelter in the time of storm.
The raging storms may round us beat, A shelter in the time of storm We’ll never leave our safe retreat, A Shelter in the time of storm.
O rock divine, O refuge dear, A shelter in the time of storm; Be Thou our helper ever near, A Shelter in the time of storm.
—Vernon J. Charlesworth
It was difficult to find a video of this hymn that I liked. I searched on YouTube and tested pages and pages of videos and finally settled on this one done by Gary Chapman for his A Hymn a Week project. You’ll want to start playing one minute in.

My dictionary defines redemption, used in the religious sense, as a synonym for salvation. But biblically, those are not exact synonyms. Yes, redemption is salvation, but it is salvation accomplished in a particular way.
It was my day to post at Out of the Ordinary, so I started a 3-post series on redemption, starting with it’s definition.
