Jaci Velasquez - Shelter

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 decieve

you are the fortress i need

Shelter me

How the mind can alter

How hte 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 your hand to be my soul's retreat

Repeat Chorus

You will never leave me stranded and finding myself

When the enemy advances you were there to help

Standing in the gap for me whenever i grow weak

you are my deliverer the refuge that i seek

I should lean on you

Cause i'm never strong enough to fight it on my own

Repeat chorus
