How the mind can wanderhow the heart can stray.
Suddenly you re on the edge of darkness.
How it makes me ponderhow 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.

Shelter methe ways of the world are at my feet.
Shelter me from the desires that deceive.
You are the fortress I needshelter me.

Wellhow the mind can alterhow the heart can change
When you set your sights on holiness.
And though at times you falterit 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
LordI need a harborbe my soul s retreat.

Shelter methe ways of the world are at my feet.
Shelter me from the desires that deceive.
You are the fortress I needshelter meyeah.

You will never leave me strandedfending for myself.
When the enemy advancesYou are there to help
Standing in the gap for me whenever I grow weak.
You are my delivererthe refuge that I seek.
I should lean on You (yeahoh)
Cause I m never strong enough to fight it on my own.

Shelter methe ways of the world are at my feet.
Shelter me from the desires that deceive.
OhYou are the fortress I needshelter me.

Shelter meshelter meshelter.
