In the Shelter of Your Arms

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
