Story behind the song
We were having our musician's practice one Saturday and Louanna, my church pianist played a melody ( verse) which she had written more than a year ago. I listened to it and liked it immediately. I woke up early the next morning (Sunday) and wrote the lyrics of the first two verses of the song. By Wednesday, I completed the whole song . When I e- mailed the lyrics to Louanna, she was excited as she always had Ps 91 in mind when she plays this melody. I praise God that the Holy Spirit gave us the same thoughts.
Lyrics
Verse 1 You are my help in time of need You are my Rock where I plant my feet My fortress, My refuge My tower of strength You are my shelter through the storms I'm secure when You walk along My helper, Defender You're a friend who understands. Verse 2 I hear Your whispers through the night They turn my darkness into light My fortress, My refuge My tower of strength You give me peace through times of fear I'm secure when You are near My helper, Defender You're a friend who understands. Bridge 1 I want to be close with You Hiding in Your secret place Resting in Your loving arms And I want to be by Your side Guide me through the storms of life I'd never need to walk alone Repeat verse 1 Bridge 2 The years have passed us by, We've weathered the storms I 'm resting here at Your side , My love's still strong O the joy of knowing You Loving You and touching You Is all my heart desire. Repeat verse 1 and verse 2 in G major
