From the Psalms
Where Are You, My Shelter
♪ Synced lyrics coming soon
Verse 1
Like a deer in desert places
Searching for a stream to drink
So my soul, through barren spaces
Longs for You, begins to sink
Days and nights of endless yearning
Through the shadows, through the pain
To Your waters I keep turning
Till my spirit's whole again
Chorus
Where are You, my God, my Shelter?
When will I behold Your face?
Though the storms around me swelter
I'll remember days of grace
Deep calls out to deep within me
Waves of mercy wash me clean
Till Your living waters find me
Till Your presence sets me free
Verse 2
Memories of celebration
Echo through an empty hall
Now I face my desolation
While the cynics mock and call
"Where's your God in all this sorrow?
Where's your hope in darkest night?"
Still I know there's hope tomorrow
Dawn will pierce the fading light
Chorus
Where are You, my God, my Shelter?
When will I behold Your face?
Though the storms around me swelter
I'll remember days of grace
Deep calls out to deep within me
Waves of mercy wash me clean
Till Your living waters find me
Till Your presence sets me free
Bridge
Why so downcast, oh my spirit?
Why this tumult deep within?
Put your hope in God and hear it
Love's refrain through all this din
Though the mountains shake and crumble
Though the waters rage and roar
I will praise You, stay here humble
Till I reach Your distant shore
Chorus
Where are You, my God, my Shelter?
When will I behold Your face?
Though the storms around me swelter
I'll remember days of grace
Deep calls out to deep within me
Waves of mercy wash me clean
Till Your living waters find me
Till Your presence sets me free
Outro
Hope in God, my soul's salvation
Dawn will break, and night will cease
All these waves of tribulation
Lead me to Your perfect peace
