Shelter — текст песни (Jaci Velasquez)

How the mind can wander
How the heart can stray
Suddenly you`re on the edge of darkness
How it makes me ponder
How I`m led away
Down a path that leaves me worn and tarnished


Battling with the will within
I have known all along
That I should lean on You
`Cause I`m never strong enough
To fight it on my own


Chorus:
Shelter me
The ways of the world are at my feet
Shelter me
From the desires that deceive
You are the fortress I need
Shelter me


How the mind can alter
How the heart can change
When you set your sights on holiness
And though at times you falter
It`s the only way
You can find a place of peace to rest


Safe from danger surrounding me
Safe from looming defeat
When temptation is at my door
Lord, I need a harbor
Be my soul`s retreat


Repeat Chorus


You will never leave me stranded
Fending for myself
When the enemy advances
You are there to help
Standing in the gap for me
Whenever I grow weak
You are my deliverer
The refuge that I seek.


Repeat Chorus
