I wrote this song one afternoon as I was thinking about and praying for a friend going through some really hard and scary health issues. I felt this longing to simply be in a place that was safe from all the loss, fear, and sadness. When my own life unraveled this became an anthem for me personally as well.

lyrics

Take me away, take me away, Take me away with You
To a quiet place, where all is safe, take me away with You

Hide me in Your love the safest place
Quiet down my mind I’ll rest, I’ll wait
And look You in the eyes, no rush, no shame
It’s just You and me now, just You and me now
It’s just You and me now, just You and me now

No one knows me like You do, no one else loves me thru and thru
You’ve seen it all, You know every detail, no one knows me like You do

Hide me in Your love, Hide me in Your love,
Hide me in Your love, I need a safe place,
Hide me in Your love
