You Remain Lyrics

Jennifer Knapp You Remain

Though I am poor and needy
My Shelter You'll be
Not by my merit lead me
To where You say

Waste my time on lover's quarrels
Speed my breath and hope to stumble
Out of my distrain and still
You remain

My Wall, my Mighty Tower
Be my Shadow come cover me
Till all my enemies cower
Jealous of my King

Though the day be laced with trouble
Be the stone o'er which I stumble
Straight into the arms and stay
Where You remain

They said to me, I would fall by the wayside
Answer me now, answer me now

The fatherless we may be weary
Be our Peace and do not tarry
Wait we will for Your Joy

Be my Portion promised me, oh Lord
May I be forever
Where You remain, where You remain
Where You, where You remain
