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, the thunders pound
The wheels of war are going round
And all the walls are crumbling
Shelter me, Lord, underneath Your wings

(Shelter me)
Hide me underneath Your wings
(Shelter me)
Hide me deep inside Your heart

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)
Hide me underneath Your wings
(Shelter me)
Hide me deep inside Your heart

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, oh, death where is your sting?
You shelter me, Lord, underneath Your wings
