[Verse 1]
How the mind can wander
How the heart can stray
Suddenly You're on the edge of darkness
How it makes me ponder
How I'm led away
Down a path that leaves me worn and tarnished

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Battling with the will within
I have known all along
That I should lean on you
Cause I'm never strong enough to fight it on my own

[Chorus]
Shelter me
The ways of the world are at my feet
Shelter me
From the desires that decieve
You are the fortress i need
Shelter me

[Verse 2]
How the mind can alter
How hte heart can change
When you set your sights on holiness
And though at times you falter
It's the only way
You can find a place of peace to rest
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Safe from danger surrounding me
Safe from looming defeat
When temptation is at my door
Lord, I need a harbor be my soul's retreat

[Chorus]
Shelter me
The ways of the world are at my feet
Shelter me
From the desires that decieve
You are the fortress i need
Shelter me

[Bridge]
You will never leave me stranded
Fending for myself
When the enemy advances
You are there to help
Standing in the gap for me
Whenever I grow weak
You are my deliverer
The refuge that I seek

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I should lean on You
'Cause I'm never strong enough
To fight it on my own
[Chorus]
Shelter me
The ways of the world are at my feet
Shelter me
From the desires that decieve
You are the fortress i need
Shelter me
