My Refuge, My Stronghold

Aloysius Fonkeng Tindong's "My Refuge, My Stronghold" brings the comforting words of Psalm 91 to life in a gentle, reassuring choral setting. The piece opens with a steady declaration of trust, reminding the congregation of the safety found in the shelter of God. As the voices move through the verses, they recount the promises of divine protection from the snare of the fowler to the terror of the night, building a profound sense of peace.

In the choir loft, this piece serves beautifully as a meditation during Communion or as an encouraging song of faith during times of trial. The melodic lines carry a quiet strength, especially when the choir sings of God's angels guiding and keeping us in safety. It is a song that invites both the singers and the assembly to lean into their faith, offering a musical embrace that comforts the spirit.
