91
Senseless Beauty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"For it is He Who takes you away from the trap
And from the killing sickness
He will cover you with His wings
And under His wings you will be safe
He is faithful like a safe-covering and a strong wall
You will not be afraid of trouble at night
Or of the arrow that flies by day.
You will not be afraid of the sickness that walks in darkness
Or of the trouble that destroys at noon
A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand
But it will not come near you
You will only look on with your eyes
And see how the sinful are punished
Because you have made the Lord your safe place
And the Most High the place where you live
Nothing will hurt you and no trouble will come near you
Nothing will hurt you and no trouble will come near you"

Shelter me from the fire
(Even when I'm not faithful)




I've lived my life enveloped in the flames
(Even when I'm not faithful)
