How the mind can wander
How the heart can stray
Suddenly you're on the edge of darkness
How it makes me ponder
How I'm led away
Down a path that leaves me worn and tarnished

2nd VERSE

How the mind can alter
How the heart can change when you set your sights on holiness
And though at times you falter
It's the only way
You can find a place of peace to rest

2nd BRIDGE

Safe from danger surrounding me
Safe from looming defeat
When temptation is at my door
Lord, I need a harbor
Be my soul's retreat
