Verse I Passing through as I get another stare my way Can’t always cover-up the newest scar on my face Daddy’s always in a daze, without care of the time of day Lord, take my hand and lead me to a safer place
Chorus [‘Cause] He is my shelter when the rain falls He’s always near when I need to call Comforts me gently, opens my eyes He wipes away tears that I cannot hide He is my shelter for when the rain falls.
Verse II All this time the paper’s saying that she’s gonna leave (?) They were laying on the table for me to see Tell me why she threw away the life we have invested What I ever did to deserve losing my best friend? I’m down on my knees and Lord I need you to breathe Oh, Tell me…
(Chorus)
Verse III I can’t believe I made through another day Everyone seems to look the other way I don’t have a change of clothes, and I have no home But I can be assured that I am not alone! ‘Cause You are my shelter when the rain falls You’re always near when I need to call You comfort me gently and opened my eyes You wipe away tears that I cannot hide You are my shelter when the rain falls You’re always near when I need to call You comfort me gently and opened my eyes You wipe away tears that I get to cry You are my shelter…You are my shelter… Ooh you are my shelter…for when the rain falls Wooo ooh for the rain falls…
