Shelter from the Storm Lyrics


I feel you have forsaken me

Just when I needed you the most

Still I keep calling your name

And just as I am doing so

I hear my voice

Tired, but not without hope

And I begin to realize

That speaking to you still means

More than some habit I have

Gotten used to

Now in the midst of all this

Of all this confusion

You are the only stable point

That I can rely on

Every time I set my eyes on you

I know it will be all right

When I listen to you

All the doubt is gone

In this sea of bitterness

You are the anchor

That keeps me against the highest waves

That seem to overwhelm me

And before their weight could crush me, you make the storm calm down

With your still small voice that shakes me inside

Speaking to me in languages I have never heard before

Yet the meaning is so simple and clear

Bringing down the high walls

I have built to shut you out

Letting peace flow all over the place

Mending this wounded and broken heart

All the doubt is gone

When I listen to you

All the doubt is gone

When I hear your voice

In these times

The times that try men’s souls

I can take refuge in you

Shelter from the storm
