They made their promises and then they walked away
Fair-weather friends be gone, be gone
My strength I find in you, the one who loves and can't be moved
In your arms I found new hope to soldier on
Chorus:
You are my prayer in times of trouble
I'll be your answer when you call
I'll shelter you, shelter me
Wake up but keep dreaming that you were born to fly
When your heart is heavy like a stone
I'll lift your burden high so we can cross the water deep and wide
Lay beside me now and rest your weary bones
Chorus:
You are my prayer in times of trouble
I'll be your answer when you call
I'll shelter you, shelter me
Show me how wrong I done
Street lights I better walk
Chorus:
You are my prayer in times of trouble
I'll be your answer when you call
Yes, I will!
You are my prayer in times of trouble
I'll be your answer when you call
When you'll call me, I'll shelter you!
