SHELTER IN TIMES OF TROUBLE
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE.

WHAT IF JESUS HAD GIVEN UP
WHEN HE HUNG UPON THE CROSS?
WE WOULD NOT HAVE A SAVIOR
AND THE WORLD WOULD BE LOST.

HE COULD HAVE CALLED TEN THOUSAND ANGELS
DOWN TO EARTH TO SET HIM FREE,
YET HE CHOSE TO HANG ON THE CRUEL CROSS
HE JUST WANTED US TO BE FREE.

HE LOVES US SO VERY MUCH
AND WANTS US TO HAVE THE VERY BEST,
HE'S ALWAYS THERE TO GUIDE US
WHEN WE'RE TIRED HE'LL GIVE US REST.

HIS HAND IS REACHING DOWN TO US
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS REACH UP,
HE PAID THE PRICE ON CALVARY
WHEN HE DRANK THE BITTER CUP.
