Through these hard times of endless shattered dreams And visions so unclear As wells run dry and pillars turn to sand Against a tide of fear Each day, we struggle just to bear it all again But when I'm in the shelter of your arms And I feel the oneness with you Then I am born anew At every turn, the long forsaken signs Now mock what once was there Upon each face are unmistaken lines Engraved with deep despair But if I know no matter where the path may wind I'll find the waiting shelter of your arms Like a fortress beckoning wide Then I'm secure inside I see my world protected My course corrected, my faith reflected In you and only with you to lean upon Do I gain strength to carry on? Your love is like A ray of hope that glimmers in a blinding storm The shining light The beacon bright I follow to the safe and warm And so with all my heart through each and every day I'll pray that in the shelter of your arms I will now and evermore be Through all eternity
