Are you weary from the battle
In a home that’s not your own
In this world of trials and trouble
Yes, I hear your longing groan
O God, why must I suffer
As the storms rage in this place
How long, O Lord of thunder
Will the dark clouds hide Your face
Come close, O child, and listen
There’s a place I may be found
Where the Words of life are written
And the peace of God abounds
How can I reach the shadow
In the covert of Your wings
Where songs of joy do overflow
And comfort You do bring
Child, I am not that far away
I’m the Word upon your shelf
Wipe the dust from My Book today
And read it for yourself
I delve into the Scriptures
Like a famished man his bread
And feast on power to endure
The rocky paths I tread
Bring the burdens that you carry
Your hurt, your pain, your sin
Ascend into My sanctuary
And find your rest therein
My soul thirsts for You alone
Your cup spills from these pages
Washing o’er my heart of stone
With Living Waters of the ages
I've longed to have this time, My love
Your grief was Mine to share
I had the answers all along
The help for every care
Resting in your warm embrace
I find strength that’s not my own
Entering on wings of grace
To worship at your throne
Seek me child, with all your heart
Do not neglect My Word
Let not these truths from you depart
Obey what you have heard
Tasting of Your Words so sweet
My heart can’t help but sing
Soaring through this heav’nly retreat
In the shadow of your wings
