Draw near to me
And I will show you how to mourn
To offer up your wounds like prayers
Come closer now
Come look your sorrow in the eyes
The kindness of your God is there
Your pain runs river wide
My love is wider
Mountains on every side
I will be higher than a mother
Safer than a place to hide
I will be more than just your shelter
I will be your home
The bullets fly
All over Eden tonight
And blood cries out from holy ground
Our treasure is buried in these fields
And life will find a way out
Wars rage on every side
Death will not rob you blind
Oh I will be your eyes
I will be higher than a mother
Safer than a place to hide
I will be more than just your shelter
I will be your home
I will be your home
I will be your home
