Where Could I Go, Indeed?

Psalm 46:1

New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 46[a]

1 God is our refuge and strength,

    an ever-present help in trouble.

I looked at this image yesterday from the Great Depression of a desperate man outside a gospel mission and could only think of the song, "Where Could I Go But to the Lord."  It wasn't a fresh hymn for me or one I had sung so often I had it memorized, but still it's question came.  I'm learning to go with something that hits me so strongly, so today I uploaded the song to Youtube. 

Where Could I Go But to the Lord - Emmylou Harris 

Living below in this old sinful world 

Hardly a comfort can afford 

Striving alone to face temptations call 

Where could I go to the Lord 

Where could I go where could I go 

Seeking a refuge for my soul 

Needing a friend to help me in the end 

Where could I go to the Lord 

Neighbors are fun I love them everyone 

We get along in sweet accord 

But when I pass the chilling hand of death 

Where could I go to the Lord 

Where could I go where could I go 

Seeking a refuge for my soul 

Needing a friend to help me in the end 

Where could I go to the Lord 

Life here is grand with friends I love so well 

Comfort I get from God's own Word 

But when my soul needs manna from above 

Where could I go to the Lord 

Where could I go where could I go 

Seeking a refuge for my soul 

Needing a friend to help me in the end 

Where could I go to the Lord 

Where could I go where could I go 

Seeking a refuge for my soul 

Needing a friend to help me in the end 

Where could I go to the Lord 

Where could I go to the Lord
