Shelter From the Storm

 Inspired by Bob Dylan's Song: Shelter From the Storm

 The world offered him pleasures
 his heart could not resist
 He needed some salvation
 yet his vices did persist

 He had to find some shelter
 Shelter from the storm

 He went to see the preacher, to listen to the word
 But the preacher's pocket was full of cash 
 while he paid the toll
 and the sermon was too shallow
 To save a sinner's soul

 He saw the faces of addiction, how badly lives were torn
 Were they hopeless cases worthy of our scorn
 Or were they using drugs
 To find shelter from their storms?

 Then he opened up his bible to find a verse to hold
 As he read the stories of prophecies of old
 Then he heard a voice within that made him feel quite warm
 The voice was simply saying
 "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
