Dwelling Place

I hurt my brother and I left the family tree
When I tell the story, I say that they left me
So I wander through the country with no name
Hard to know just who You are without somewhere to stay

I feel broken
Weary of the wars I can't escape
Tired of hoping
For the promised morning light to break
And then I heard You calling out my name
Singing: Do not be afraid
I will be your dwelling place

It's a brand-new morning and the birds are happy still
I keep fighting for my peace and taking pills
You come asking me to lay my burdens down
Why do I feel safer with my worries and my doubts?

Oh, I feel broken
Weary of the wars I can't escape
Tired of hoping
For the promised morning light to break
And then I heard You calling out my name
Singing: Do not be afraid
I will be your dwelling place

Running through the gardens to the east of Cheesman Park
Chasing rabbits with my son till it's too dark
And he can't understand the fullness of my love
Tell me it's the same with my Father up above

Oh, 'cause I feel broken
Weary of the wars I can't escape
Tired of hoping
For the promised morning light to break
And then I heard You calling out my name
Singing: Do not be afraid
I will be your dwelling place
