Jaci Velasquez - Shelter lyrics

How the mind can wanderhow the heart can stray.

Suddenly you're on the edge of darkness.

How it makes me ponderhow 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.

Shelter methe ways of the world are at my feet.

Shelter me from the desires that deceive.

You are the fortress I needshelter me.

Wellhow the mind can alterhow the heart can change

When you set your sights on holiness.

And though at times you falterit'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

LordI need a harborbe my soul's retreat.

Shelter methe ways of the world are at my feet.

Shelter me from the desires that deceive.

You are the fortress I needshelter meyeah.

You will never leave me strandedfending for myself.

When the enemy advancesyou are there to help

Standing in the gap for me whenever I grow weak.

You are my delivererthe refuge that I seek.

I should lean on you (yeahoh)

'cause I'm never strong enough to fight it on my own.

Shelter methe ways of the world are at my feet.

Shelter me from the desires that deceive.

Ohyou are the fortress I needshelter me.

Shelter meshelter meshelter.
