Colton Dixon - Shelter lyrics

Passin' through as I get another stare my way

Can’t always cover up the newest scar on my face

Daddy's always in a daze

Without care or the time of day

Lord, take my hand and lead me to a safer place

[Chorus]

Cause he is my shelter when the rain falls

He’s always near when I need to call

He comforts me gently and opens my eyes

He wipes away tears that I cannot hide

He is my shelter

As I sign the papers saying that she’s gonna leave

They were laying on the table for me to see

Tell me why she’d thrown away the love we had invested

What I ever did to deserve losing my best friend

I’m down on my knees and Lord I need you to please, help me.

[Chorus]

Cause he is my shelter when the rain falls

He’s always near when I need to call

He comforts me gently and opens my eyes

He wipes away tears that I cannot hide

He is my shelter for when the rain falls

I can’t believe I made it through another day

Everyone seems to look the other way

I don’t own a change of clothes

And I have no home

But I can be sure that I am not alone

[Chorus]

Cause you are my shelter when the rain falls

You’re always near when I need to call

You comfort me gently and open my eyes

You wipe away tears that I cannot hide

You are my shelter when the rain falls

You’re always there when I need to call

You comfort me gently and open my eyes

You wipe away tears that I’ve yet to cry

You are my shelter (x3)

For when the rain falls (x2)
