Let me enter your shelter.
Let me bathe your arms
With my salty streams.
Let me feel the warmth
Of your pillar’s strong.
Let them be what soaks
Up the tears of my heart.
Let me be,
Just let me be
In your sheltering.
When I can’t breathe in this world
When I can’t touch the stars
When I feel too far from home,
Let me come to you and find the place
I’ve been longing for,
My sweet sheltering.
Let me enter your sanctuary.
Let me soak in your love.
Let me stand unashamed
With naked trusting soul.
Let me shower in your
Endearing tenderness.
Let me feel the presence
Of your heartbeat steady.
Let me hear the echoing
There upon your chest.
Let me feel the rhythm strong.
Let me enter this divine,
Complete peacefulness.
Let me be,
Just let me be
In your sheltering.
For when I can’t breathe in this world
And when all I see is the dark
When I’m longing to come home
When I feel too far gone,
Comfort me with your heart.
Comfort me with your arms
Be my sheltering.
My love, forever you will be,
My rock, my steady heartbeat
Eternal cord to my heart,
My sweet sheltering.
Always hope. Always believe. Always love. ❤
