shelter

You hold me with scarred hands
and a strength I've never known
You've always had a plan
despite the rotten seeds I've sewn
the temple that I've tortured and painted
was caught with gentle strength as I fainted
lost my grip on the empty promise of this world
found a love with which i've never been acquainted

(chorus)
hold the heart you made Lord
and cleanse me once again
taking shelter in your grace Lord
I will let my life begin

In You I am strengthened
in adam I am lost
in flesh I am weak
but You paid the cost
my sin now forgiven
my burden relieved
I walk now in the truth
when I once was deceived
