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"........
