When the nations rage and death is at the door
When the wars are waged as they have been before
There's a refuge that I run to
A respite from my fear
Nothing in this world can harm me here
When my song of hope is swallowed by the pain
As the weariness of grief floods in again
Will you find me in the valley?
Oh, hear my helpless cry
Hold me as a mother holds her child
Chorus:
And I'll take shelter Take shelter
In the loving arms of God
And I will take shelter Take shelter
In the loving arms of God
When a greater war had torn apart my soul
And the iron hold of sin would not let go
All of heaven stormed the darkness
In the power of the cross
I'm freed beneath the banner of His love Chorus
When the labors of this fleeting life are done
As the shadows fall, we'll see the lights of home
And then all our prayers and troubles will be stories of the past
Safe within His gates, we'll find our rest Chorus
