Sanctuary
Abby Robertson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You gave me a place
Where I could find rest
Your love gave me strength
When I ran out of breath

Nobody knows me like you do
Jesus, I run to you
Wherever I am There You are
Whenever I fall it's into your arms
When clouds around me gather
You are my shelter
Even in the waves of a raging sea
You're the calm where I find peace
When waters rise around me
You are my Sanctuary

You are my sanctuary
Jesus, you are

You're my hideaway
When I can't take it anymore
Yea with just a whisper of Your name
You settle the storms

Nobody knows me like you do
Jesus, I run to you

Wherever I am There You are
Whenever I fall it's into your arms
When clouds around me gather
You are my shelter
Even in the waves of a raging sea
You're the calm where I find peace
When waters rise around me
You are my sanctuary

You are my sanctuary
Jesus, you are

You're my hiding place
I'm always safe
I'm Safe in Your arms
You'll never change
You stay the same
It's just who You are

Wherever I am there you are
Whenever I fall it's into your arms

Wherever I am There You are
Whenever I fall it's into your arms
When clouds around me gather
You are my shelter
Even in the waves of a raging sea
You're the calm where I find peace
When waters rise around me
You are my sanctuary

You are my sanctuary
Jesus, you are

You're my hiding place




And I'm always safe
My sanctuary
