I've been alone here for too many days
Looking for a road to clear all the demons away
They've been hounding me and hounding me like a fox gone astray
Some days I want to just wish it all away
Lord you are my shelter, when it gets wetter
And the storms try to get me down
My shield and buckler when the road gets tougher
You are there to lift me out
You are my shelter, when it gets wetter
And the storms try to get me down
My shield and buckler when the road gets tougher
You are there to lift me out
I give my thanks and praise to the Lord on high
I cross my heart and hope to die
That I will remain on your path Lord, at least I dare to try
For I know that the end of the road I find true peace inside
Lord you are my shelter, when it gets wetter
And the storms try to get me down
My shield and buckler when the road gets tougher
You are there to lift me out
You are my shelter, when it gets wetter
And the storms try to get me down
My shield and buckler when the road gets tougher
You are there to lift me out
I keep the faith even when I'm in the midst of war
Happy doing, singing in a ghetto among the destitute and poor
Who need uplifting, love and care, the Lord's finest cure
Which is a friend, when a stranger is in need of you
♪
You are my shelter through the storms
And I know when I feel all is gone
I will never be left alone
You'll be there for me Lord
