I have come undone
Huddled next to pay phone
Praying into buzzing dial tone
Lord, take me in–Shelter
Stand at the right hand of the needy one
Close my eyes
Meditate, Pray
Life flows from Your word
And I know it will be okay
Tears sting
Broken, All is wrong
Hold me, Make me strong
Take me in– Shelter
In the shadow of your wing
Your love is what I live for
Weary from the fight
Your love is what I live for
When hope is but a distant shore
Your love is what I live for
In darkness,
Light dawns for the upright
Shunned, only You heard my plea
They almost wiped me from the earth
Lord, you saved me–new birth
You have set my heart free
Close my eyes
Meditate, Pray
Life flows from your word
And I know it will be okay
A better path I seek
Trembling, Your arm steers me
You give strength to the weary
And increase the power of the weak
Close my eyes
Meditate, Pray
Life flows from Your word
And I know it will be okay
Your love is what I live for
Weary from the fight
Your love is what I live for
When hope is but a distant shore
Your love is what I live for
In darkness,
Light dawns for the upright
There is nothing to fear
Burst into songs of joy together
Holy One, Savior, Redeemer
Has broken ev’ry chain and tether
My heart and flesh cry
Lord draw me near
Tears sting
Broken, all is wrong
Hold me, make me strong
Take me in– Shelter
In the shadow of Your wing
Your live is what I live for
Weary from the fight
Your love is what I live for
When hope is but a distant shore
Your love is what I live for
In darkness,
Light dawns for the upright
Your love is what I live for.
