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
