[Verse 1]
C#m                     F#7
How the mind can wander
C#m7
How the heart can stray
C#m
Suddenly you're on the
F#7
edge of darkness
C#m                    F#7
How it makes me ponder
C#m
How I'm led away
C#m
Down a path that leaves me
F#7
worn and tarnished.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
G#       A        B      C#m
Battling with the will within
G#m    A          B
I have known all along
G#m      A
That I should lean on you
B     C#  C#m   E       D
Cause I'm never strong enough
A        G#7   C#m
to fight it on my own.

[Chorus]
C#m      F#
Shelter me
B                     E
The ways of the world are at my feet
C#m      F#
Shelter me
A          G#           F#7
From the desires that decieve
G#7  A7      G#7        C#m7
You are the fortress I need
F#       C#m7 E F#7
Shelter me.

[Verse 2]
C#m                    F#7
How the mind can alter
C#m
How the heart can change
F#7
When you set your sights on holiness
C#m                            F#7
And though at times you falter
C#m7
It's the only way
C#m                      F#7
You can find a place of peace to rest.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
E         A         B        C#m
Safe from danger surrounding me
A         B
Safe from looming defeat
G#       A         B  C# C#m
When temptation is at my door Lord
E             A     G#7      C#m
I need a harbor be my soul's retreat.

[Chorus]
C#m      F#
Shelter me
B                     E
The ways of the world are at my feet
C#m      F#
Shelter me
A          G#           F#7
From the desires that decieve
G#7  A7      G#7        C#m7
You are the fortress I need
F#       C#m7 E F#7
Shelter me.

[Bridge]
C#m7
You will never leave me stranded
F#
Fending for myself
C#m7
When the enemy advances
F#
You are there to help
C#m7
Standing in the gap for me
F#          G#7
Whenever I grow weak
C#m7
You are my deliverer
F#                E A  B C#m E A B
The refuge that I seek
G#       A       B
I should lean on You
C#m.      E
'Cause I'm never strong enough
A              G#
To fight it on my own
