Psalm 5:11, "But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread Your protection over them, that those who love Your Name, in You, may rejoice."

Roll your dice and play the game. It's just a game of chance.
It's Yatzee, fun but no skill needed. It's a game of circumstance.
We raise the dice to our lips and blow them or give an overhead shake,
or chant out the number you want. Roll it and hope your luck won't break.
As it is in this game, for many it is in their life.
Blow out those candles, read your horoscope to avoid all strife.
But the wisdom of this world is foolishness in His eyes.
All our schemes and planning, our useless speech is a worthless disquise.
The things we think are hidden and covered up out others sight.
God sees them all and one day, He'll bring them all to light.
Dear friend, with hope and love I ask you to cast aside your mask.
There is a better way to live and all we have to do is ask.
The better way is Jesus, the sweetest and most controversial name I know.
God's Son humbled himself and became flesh and willingly died for a debt He didn't owe.
It was your debt He paid, your sins, your failures...and of course, also mine.
He died on a rugged cross, rose again to give us a way to one day in Paradise reside.
Not based on luck or resume, not considering our morals, deeds or virtue,
For if we all were measured by the law, than none could stand what we're due.
But it's by our faith in Christ, trusting that His death and resurrection paid our sin.
No waiting in line, no insurance card needed. Paradise will welcome you in.
And it's this Hope, not chance;
It's Christ, not circumstance.
that
I believe in times of trouble, I have a place to go for refuge.
He's more than my eternity, He's my Rock, my Fortress and the One I sing to.
For if you trust your luck, than your luck may soon run out.
You'll find yourself broken and defeated. Worried and full of doubt.
"But let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them ever sing for joy.
Spread Your protection over them, that those who love Your name, in You may rejoice!"
Hoping, trusting and rejoicing,
