From a man who's dark inside.
For her children she says a prayer
Fear and desperation keeps her there.
Will redemption come around in time to save her?
She wants to run from the life that he gave her. She cries....
[Chorus:]
"Love, come and Shelter Me,
Your light is all I need to survive.
Take me from where the cold wind's blowin,
To where the healing water's flowin',
Love, come and Shelter Me. "
... And there's a beggar, feels like half a man.
He fought the war, now he fights the pain.
He was a hero in a foreign land
Now he's flat broke and stranded in the rain.
But his dignity runs deeper than the ocean
In a voice that trembles with emotion, he cries...
(2nd Chorus)
"Love, come and Shelter Me
Your light is all I need to survive.
In a world where the cold winds blowin'
Will your love be a shelter for me? "
[Bridge:]
So blind, yet we try to see
Fallin' short of what could be
All hopes and dreams goin' nowhere.
So we pray for a new tomorrow
To wash our sorrows away
(Refrain)
Pray for a new tomorrow
To wash our sorrows away....
(3rd Chorus)
"Love, come and Shelter Me"........
There's a woman who tries to hide From a man who's dark inside. For her children she says a prayer Fear and desperation keeps her there. Will redemption come around in time to save her? She wants to run from the life that he gave her. She cries.... [Chorus:] "Love, come and Shelter Me, Your light is all I need to survive. Take me from where the cold wind's blowin, To where the healing water's flowin', Love, come and Shelter Me. " ... And there's a beggar, feels like half a man. He fought the war, now he fights the pain. He was a hero in a foreign land Now he's flat broke and stranded in the rain.

In a world where the cold winds blowin' Will your love be a shelter for me? " [Bridge:] So blind, yet we try to see Fallin' short of what could be All hopes and dreams goin' nowhere. So we pray for a new tomorrow To wash our sorrows away (Refrain) Pray for a new tomorrow To wash our sorrows away.... (3rd Chorus) "Love, come and Shelter Me"........ Explain Request ×
