The shelter beside me

Verse 1

When the world feels like a mountain

And the weight is hard to bear,

When the road gets lost in shadows

And I’m searching everywhere,

I don’t need you to move the mountain,

I don’t need you to clear the sky,

Just be the light beside me

When I’m too tired to try.

Pre-Chorus

You don’t have to fix the broken,

You don’t have to make it right,

Just your hand inside of mine

Makes the darkness feel less like night.

Chorus

You’re the shelter in my storm,

The harbor when the waves get high,

The steady ground beneath my feet

When I’m afraid I’m gonna fall apart.

You’re the quiet in the thunder,

The warmth when the world turns cold,

I don’t need you to save me—

Just stay beside me and hold me close.

Verse 2

When my shoulders start to bend

From the weight of yesterday,

You’re the river running through me,

Washing all the fear away.

One word from you is like a sunrise

Breaking through a cloudy sky,

And somehow I can breathe again

Just knowing you’re nearby.

Pre-Chorus

You don’t have to find the answers,

You don’t have to know the way,

Sometimes love is simply saying,

“I’m right here, and I will stay.”

Chorus

You’re the shelter in my storm,

The harbor when the waves get high,

The steady ground beneath my feet

When I’m afraid I’m gonna fall apart.

You’re the quiet in the thunder,

The warmth when the world turns cold,

I don’t need you to save me—

Just stay beside me and hold me close.

Bridge

And when I’m running out of strength,

Let me rest beneath your sky.

I’ll lay my burdens at your feet

And let your heartbeat answer mine.

Maybe comfort isn’t something

That you find along the way—

Maybe comfort is a person

Who simply chooses to stay.

Final Chorus

You’re the shelter in my storm,

My harbor when the waves get high,

The sunrise after midnight,

The reason I can face the night.

You’re the calm inside the chaos,

The place my weary heart calls home,

I don’t need you to fix my world—

Your presence tells me I’m not alone.

Outro

So when life puts the weight upon me,

And I’m too tired to carry on,

I’ll stay close beneath your shelter

Until the storm is gone.

You don’t have to say forever,

You don’t have to have the answers—

Just stay beside me…

Because your presence

Is the comfort I need most.
