    Mighty Refuge, cut at Audiophile 45rpm - 96khz, 24 bit files, in a limited edition color vinyl double set!

    My first vinyl was Bright Star and based on the overwhelmingly positive response about the quality of the master and printing, I've sent Mighty Refuge to the same engineer and production plant - vinyl takes time and will be available in 2.5-3 months.

    Stock is on order and will be available in 2.5 months!

    I'm so excited to offer a limited number of the test prints for what will ultimately be the final pressing for the first run of Mighty Refuge's double vinyl! They are for the true fan as they don't have any fancy artwork but are simply a behind the scenes look at what I listened to in order to say yes to this run. That being said, you'll want to handle with extra care as they aren't as durable as the final run. P.S. The final run should be here right at the turn of 2021!

    I'm so excited to offer a limited number of test prints for Mighty Refuge's double vinyl! THREE COPIES in existence from this test run. Crazy thing is, this set was never approved because of little inconsistencies in the intro and outdo of some of the sides...but the pressing is incredible - a different master from JJ Golden - so a slightly different listening experience. They are for the true fan as they don't have any fancy artwork but are simply a behind the scenes look at what I listened to in the process of making the final product. That being said, you'll want to handle with extra care as they aren't as durable as the final run. P.S. The final run should be here right at the turn of 2021!

Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bidst me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot, To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Just as I am, though tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt, Fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind; Sight, riches, healing of the mind, Yea, all I need in Thee to find, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. You can have all of me, You can have every part Here I am, Just as I am Just as I am, without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bidst me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Beautiful Savior, King of Creation, Son of God and Son of Man! Truly I'd love Thee, Truly I'd serve Thee, Light of my soul, my Joy, my Crown. Fair are the meadows, Fair are the woodlands, Robed in flowers of blooming spring; Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer; He makes our sorrowing spirit sing. Fair is the sunshine, Fair is the moonlight, Bright the sparkling stars on high; Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer, Than all the angels in the sky. Beautiful Savior, Lord of the nations, Son of God and Son of Man! Glory and honor, Praise, adoration, Now and forevermore be Thine! The stars they shine, shine, shine so bright Bright, bright, bright like the sparks, sparks sparks Sparks in your eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes The rivers they run, run, run so clear clear, clear, they fall like the tears, tears, tears Tears of your joy, joy, joy, joy The mountains they shout, shout, shout to the sky Sky, sky, their voices rise, rise, rise Oh they make you smile, smile smile The people we sing, sing, sing, sing to you Father Father, Father, sing to you Son, Son, Son Sing to you Spirit, Spirit, Spirit, Three in One Praise praise the Father, praise the Son And praise the Spirit Three in One

Thru dangers toils and snares I run, to you my God oh brilliant Son When all seems lost prone to dismay, you hold me fast you still my sway Tho enemies surround me now, they can not stop, they know not how The light, the warmth, of your embrace, you spark my heart you fuel my race You spark my heart you fuel my race You spark my heart you fuel my race So treachery can try it’s best, destruction, darkness and the rest So strong I am because I stand, on you my God, the great I Am Nor height nor depth shall worry me, nor fire, winds, or raging seas Will sway me from my love for you, my God my friend my savior true My God my friend my savior true My God my friend my savior true You are my first love, none like you, no one You have my whole heart, you are my only one

My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand. When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand. His oath, His covenant, and blood Support me in the whelming flood; When every earthly prop gives way, He then is all my Hope and Stay. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand. When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in Him be found, Clothed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne! On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. All other ground is sinking sand. We build our house on you We place our trust in you Our hope is found in You alone We build our house on you When darkness takes our sight And straining has made us blind Our hope is found in You alone When darkness takes our sight When rulers rule by fear Your rule of love will still be here Our hope is found in You alone When rulers rule by fear And if justice doesn’t come In this life, under this sun Our hope is found in You alone If justice doesn’t come But justice come, justice come Roll on down the hills, come on Roll on through the prairies deep Roll on o’er the mountains steep Roll on through the deepest seas Justice come, justice come We build our house on you We place our trust in you Our hope is found in You alone We build our house on you

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy Hand hath made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed; Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art! When through the woods and forest glades I wander I hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art! But when I think that God, his Son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in, That on the cross my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art! When Christ shall come, with shouts of acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration And there proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!” Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art! All creation shouts With beauty resounds It says to me, that we should sing Hallelujah So the people sing With the choirs of heaven Our melodies, so beautiful Hallelujah And the trumpet sounds Like fresh cut flowers It’s heralding, your great name Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

A mighty refuge is our God, a shelter never failing; Defender of the helpless ones, a steadfast shield prevailing But oh my God, this world, great woe and strife unfurled Has born the sins of flesh, we’ll not survive unless We turn our hearts back to God Would we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing; The Man of Peace right by our side, our greatest fears removing: You ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same, In Him our weakness made strong The Body Christ has made his Bride, her beauty by him magnified She’ll be known by her love, her life, she’ll give her all, she’ll sacrifice For those who mourn in tears, for those whose hearts are pure For hungry and thirsty, for those who seek his peace His kingdom is forever. Guard my heart with your righteousness This faith will be my trusted shield Guard my mind with salvation Give me hands that can heal Fit my feet with your Gospel shoes Buckle my waist with your truth Make sharp the sword of your Spirit Give me songs full of you Let my mind be made new Let my heart be set on you Let my words flow from you God Let my life be found in you
