My One Safe Place

(album: The Burning Edge Of Dawn - 2015)

You're my oasis
The eye of the hurricane
One look at your face is
All I need to remember my name
So I run away home
Yes, I run away home to you

I was an orphan
Caught in a thunderstorm
You opened the door and welcomed me
Into your arms
So I run away home
Yes, I run away home to you

I believe in the love of the Father and
I believe in the power of grace
I believe that He brought us together and
You are my one safe place

You are a fortress
I am under siege
You're a light in the forest
I am a lost boy out in the trees
So I run away home
Yes, I run away home to you

Don't be scared, it's alright
It's a weight you were not meant to shoulder
But you bear so much light
And it's brighter each day we get older
And I know that you're broken too
But you are a sacrament God has spoken through
He's spoken through you

I am my beloved's
My beloved is mine
And the banner that hovers over us
Is older than time
So I run away home
Yes, I run away home

I believe in the love of the Father and
I believe in the power of grace
I believe that He brought us together and
You are my one safe place
My one safe place
My one safe place
