Oh Song Lyrics

So, I don't have a lot of time to spend writing, but I just really wanted to share these lyrics. I know Kate knows this song because I heard it for the first time on her cd. I'm sure even if you know it, you'll enjoy reading it.

I've found that I go through these phases of longing. Its like my loneliness and desperation for a boyfriend has to build up to this breaking point until its like I can't take it anymore. I finally just have to give it up. Well, this has been the longest its taken me to get past it. Honestly, I don't know when I've ever struggled this bad with the guy thing. However, I think I reached that point yesterday where I just realized how distorted my thinking was. I was reminded that God is protecting me. He is saving me and preparing me for Himself ultimately, but also for the right guy, not for a guy I want to settle for. Its all things that I've known, but I'm finally starting to believe them again. So, the song. I specifically love the second verse. I've been listening to the song none stop for a while now, but this verse rang so true for me today.

Shelter

In the arms of a good Father
You can go to the deep water
Where the questions, we have left unspoken
Come out in the open
We will find shelter here

So I lay down, what I cannot hold in my hands
Every sorrow and hope spinning out of control
And here I find sweet resolution comes in letting go
And we will find shelter here

When I look back I can see,
And when I am old I'll remember these things
Like a mountain of stone
And the longing that makes me believe...

There is a tree by the blue river
Where the shade stretches wide over
In this breaking we are hand and glove
Come with me my love
We will find shelter here
We will find shelter here
