Shelter

Shelter
Verse 1: ( A girl who is abused by her father )
Passing through as I get another stare my way
Can’t always cover up the newest scar on my face
Daddy's always in a daze
Without care or the time of day
Lord, take my hand and lead me to a safer place

[Chorus]
Cause he is my shelter when the rain falls
He’s always near when I need to call
He comforts me gently and opens my eyes
He wipes away tears that I cannot hide
He is my shelter
Verse 2: ( Divorce )
As I sign the papers saying that she’s gonna leave
They were laying on the table for me to see
Tell me why she’d thrown away the love we had invested
What I ever did to deserve losing my best friend
I’m down on my knees and Lord I need you to please, help me.
[Chorus]
Cause he is my shelter when the rain falls
He’s always near when I need to call
He comforts me gently and opens my eyes
He wipes away tears that I cannot hide
He is my shelter for when the rain falls
Verse 3: ( A guy who is poor )
I can’t believe I made it through another day
Everyone seems to look the other way
I don’t own a change of clothes
And I have no home
But I can be sure that I am not alone

[Chorus]
Cause you are my shelter when the rain falls
You’re always near when I need to call
You comfort me gently and open my eyes
You wipe away tears that I cannot hide
You are my shelter when the rain falls
You’re always there when I need to call
You comfort me gently and open my eyes
You wipe away tears that I’ve yet to cry
You are my shelter (x3)
For when the rain falls (x2)
