shelter

Sorry for the impersonal music posts, but these are songs that have meant a lot to me over the past few weeks. I am working up a post in my head of actual thoughts ... promise.

Sandra McCracken with Derek Webb, "Shelter"



In the arms of a good Father
You can go in the deep water
Where the questions we have left unspoken
Come out in the open

We will find shelter here

So I lay down what I cannot hold in my hands
Every sorrow and hope spinning out of control
But here I find sweet resolution
Comes in letting go

We will find shelter here
We will shelter here

When I look back I can see
When I am old I will remember these things
Like a mountain of stone
And the longing that makes me believe

There is a tree by the blue river
Where the shade stretches wide over
In this breaking we are hand and glove
So come with me my love

We will find shelter here
We will find shelter here
We will find shelter here
