...My Fortress...

I can feel it coming over me,
All the weight of what this fear can bring...
I know on my own I can’t survive,
And I’m fading fast now ...

I’m closing in on what’s in store for me,
All the rest in Your security...
I’m holding on to the words You speak,
And You’re speaking clear, now...

I’m running fast to seek Your face, oh yeah...
Headfirst I dive into Your grace...

You are my fortress, You are the refuge where I hide
You are the strength when I can’t fight
You are the only one I rest my life in...
You are the only hope I find
You are my only peace of mind
You are the only one I rest my life in...

I’m taking hold of what’s in front of me,
A place where I can rest my weary feet...
There’s no other place that I can go,
So I’m waiting here now...

I’m letting go of what the world would bring,
A sanctuary that will never breathe...
I found my heart in that place before,
And I’ll never go back...

I’m running fast to seek Your face, oh yeah...
Headfirst I dive into Your grace...

You are my fortress, You are the refuge where I hide
You are the strength when I can’t fight
You are the only one I rest my life in...
You are the only hope I find
You are my only peace of mind
You are the only one I rest my life in...

And I get lost within that place,
The place where I always wish I’d stay, yeah, yeah, oh…

Oh, You are my fortress, You are the refuge
You are the only hope I find
You are the only one I rest my life in...
Oh, You are my fortress You are the refuge
You are my only peace of mind
You are the only one I rest my life in...

Oh, You are the only one
Only one I rest my life in, Lord
You are my hope, my strength, my life,
My peace, my rock, my joy, my everything, now…
Oh, You are the refuge where I hide
You are the only one I rest my life in…

This is me...being completely honest right now:

When I’m alone
The faces they come and they go
I wonder if they think I’ve changed
I wish I could stay
But be where you are
The countries and cities so far
This is my dream and my gift
But sometimes I get

Scared
That somehow I’ll cease to belong
Anywhere
So I need you when it all starts to show
When I’m alone

When I’m alone
I sleep late it’s crazy I know
The worlds only passing me by
I guess that is why
I’m telling you now
That I haven’t figured it out
The depth of the things that I’ve missed
They leave me like this

Scared
That somehow I’ll cease to belong
Anywhere
So I need you when it all starts to show
When I’m alone

Is it true that you can find me anytime
Cause I’m feeling like I’m there, it’s about that time

Cause I’m scared
That somehow I’ll cease to belong
Anywhere
So I need you when it all starts to show
When I’m alone
