Be my shelter be my shield be my shephard
I need your help so I can heal like the leper
This world may melt away but still you’re forever
So please help us remember til the day that we’re together
That it’s all you, all you
Broken bodies all new
That’s the reason I’ll do
Anything I’m called to
What if I don’t follow through
Give it up and put it all on you
So often true I fall unglued then back to church with hallelujs
Why do I think I’m so special that I would hear your message
Cause I can’t even sit through sermons without getting restless
I confess this new perspective’s vexing at times
As I try to navigate my way through my emotions and your signs
And I feel the other side fighting madly for my soul
It isn’t something I’m just saying I see it daily and know
That the devil wants me back and I’m always close to stumbling
Cause there are times when even I will sit and miss his company
And I’m so wishy washy, big Mr. Busy Body
Get back on my horse and start to think I don’t need anybody
So knock me down God, and have your way here
And plant your seed so that your tree of life may stay near
And although I may fear all that tomorrow brings
I let my faith steer for you’re tomorrow’s king
So let my sorrows bring me ever closer to your presence
And may your interventions turn my stresses into blessings
And although I’m stepping through the valley of the shadow God
Still I know that you won’t give me something I can’t handle God
So help me battle on, let this be my battle song
And lead me to the gates of Zion out of Babylon
Cause I been lost I been lost I been so gone
But I’m found and I’ve found I can hold on
Just to the promise of your word because I know it’s true
So it isn’t hard to hold on when I’m holding you
I’ve given glory to the wrong one many times
Ignoring many signs I’ve corrupted many lives
And stepped on many guys trying to reach that top floor
But every time I tried to rise I only dropped more
But now it’s done let my path be peace
No more reaching for the things that are past my reach
I wanna store up my treasures where I can save them
Up in heaven with my Father God, amen
