[Intro]
Am F C Am F G

[Verse 1]

Am F C
When the nations rage and death is at the door
Am F G
When the wars are waged as they have been before
Am F G G#dim Am
There’s a refuge that I run to, a respite from my fear
Bb G
Nothing in this world can harm me here

[Verse 2]

Am F C
When my song of hope is swallowed by the pain
Am F G
As the weariness of grief floods in again
Am F G G#dim Am
Will You find me in the valley? Oh, hear my helpless cry
Bb G
Hold me as a mother holds her child

[Chorus]

F G C Am
And I’ll take sheltеr, take shelter
F G Am
In thе loving arms of God
F G C Am
And I will take shelter, take shelter
F G C
In the loving arms of God

[Verse 3]

Am F C
When a greater war had torn apart my soul
Am F G
And the iron hold of sin would not let go
Am F G G#dim Am
All of Heaven stormed the darkness in the power of the cross
Bb G
And freed beneath the banner of His love

[Chorus]

F G C Am
I will take sheltеr, take shelter
F G Am
In thе loving arms of God
F G C Am
And I will take shelter, take shelter
F G C
In the loving arms of God

[Verse 4] (softly; build energy throughout)

Am F C
When the labors of this fleeting life are done
Am F G
As the shadows fall, we’ll see the lights of home
Am F G G#dim Am
And then all our present troubles will be stories of the past
Bb G
Safe within His gates, we’ll find our rest

[Chorus] (repeat and fade out)

F G C Am
And I’ll take sheltеr, take shelter
F G Am
In thе loving arms of God
F G C Am
And I will take shelter, take shelter
F G C
In the loving arms of God
