Story behind the song
Ladies and gentlemen, before we dive into this heartfelt song, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to someone whose presence and collaboration have made this song possible. His dedication, talent, and friendship have been instrumental in bringing this piece to life. Please join me in extending a warm round of applause to the incredible John Matteson. John has been more than just a co-writer and musician on this project; he has been a guiding light, a source of inspiration, and a true partner every step of the way. From laying down the perfect guitar riff to pouring his heart into the lyrics to infusing each note with passion, John's contribution has been nothing short of remarkable. But beyond his musical prowess, John has been a pillar of support, offering encouragement and unwavering belief in the power of this song. His commitment to excellence and his genuine kindness have left an indelible mark on me, both as a musician and as a person. So, as we share this song with you tonight, I ask that you join me in celebrating not just the ,music, but also this incredible individual. John, thank you for your friendship, and your unwavering dedication. This song is as much yours as it is mine, and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to create music with you. Let's give it up once again for the one and only John Matteson!
Lyrics
ASSURANCE INTRO: You're my Assurance. You're my Assurance, LORD. VERSE ONE: (Richard) You laid a path for me before I was conceived, You knew me by my name. You laid Your life for me to show You love me, And called me Your best friend, LORD. Nothing can separate me from Your love 'Cause that is all I need. Whoever calls upon You shall be saved, You're the kind of friend we need, LORD. CHORUS: I do not deserve Your love, but You love me anyway. Ill always run to You, LORD; please dont look the other way. Youre my only refuge, LORD; Yes, I need You, LORD, stay. Ill always depend on You, LORD; please dont look the other way. VERSE TWO: (John) I will pause a moment to yield to these things: You are here, And Your Holy Spirit surrounds, I surrender and worship Your holy Name, Nothing can separate us from Your love, Oh let us sing, As I consume the promise said: I will never leave you or forsake you. BRIDGE: We lift You higher, higher. You reign forever; You're a King forever (2x) Copyright 2024 Richard Shekari & John Matteson Words: Richard Shekari & John Matteson Guitar/Drobo/Bass: John Matteson Mix and Master: Richard Shekari
