Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
The earth can shake, the sky come down
The mountains all fall to the ground
But I will fear none of these things
Shelter me Lord underneath Your wings
Dark waters rise and thunder pounds
The wheels of war are going round
And all the walls are crumbling
Shelter me Lord underneath Your wings
(Shelter me Lord)
Hide me deep inside of Your heart
Hide me deep inside of Your grace
In Your refuge cover me
The world can shake
But Lord I'm making You my hiding place
The wind can blow, the rain can pour
The deluge breaks the tempest roars
But in the storm my spirit sings
When You shelter me Lord underneath Your wings
(Shelter me Lord)
Hide me deep inside of Your heart
Hide me deep inside of Your grace
In Your refuge cover me
The world can shake
But Lord I'm making You my hiding place
Now on the day You call for me
Someday when time no more shall be
I'll say, "O death, where is your sting?"
When You shelter me Lord underneath Your wings
