Shelter Me

There's a woman who tries to hide

From a man who's dark inside

For her children she says a prayer

Fear and desperation keeps her there

Will redemption come around in time to save her?

She wants to run from the life that he gave her. She cries....

[Chorus:]

"Love, come and Shelter Me

Your light is all I need to survive

Take me from where the cold wind's blowin

To where the healing water's flowin'

Love, come and Shelter Me. "

... And there's a beggar, feels like half a man

He fought the war, now he fights the pain

He was a hero in a foreign land

Now he's flat broke and stranded in the rain

But his dignity runs deeper than the ocean

In a voice that trembles with emotion, he cries...

(2nd Chorus)

"Love, come and Shelter Me

Your light is all I need to survive

In a world where the cold winds blowin'

Will your love be a shelter for me? "

[Bridge:]

So blind, yet we try to see

Fallin' short of what could be

All hopes and dreams goin' nowhere

So we pray for a new tomorrow

To wash our sorrows away

(Refrain)

Pray for a new tomorrow

To wash our sorrows away....

(3rd Chorus)

"Love, come and Shelter Me"........
