Comfort Me — based on Psalms 27 & 29       —  © 2019 by Myron Schreck

In the midst of sorrow in the midst of grief,
You will comfort me.  You will comfort me.
When my spirit’s broken  –  When my faith is weak,
You will comfort me.  You will comfort me.
You will comfort me.   You will dry my tears.
You will set my mind at ease.
Knowing that you’re near, I will have no fear. 
You will come for me.  You will comfort me.  
I will always seek the Lord.
Translation: “Your voice, honored Lord, soars over the many waters …your glory thunders”
When we slaved in Egypt with no hope in sight,
You did rescue us.  You did rescue us.
We were left abandoned and denied your light,
But you rescued us. You restored our trust.
With your outstretched arm and your mighty hand,
You did rescue us … once again. 
And you brought us on … to your promised land. 
We were almost crushed, but you rescued us. 
We will always trust the Lord.
God of thunderous  -- glorious powers
Your voice soars over the spacious waters
Breaking cedars, raining flames of fire
Lord of light - you're my salvation
Sovereign over … every nation
Ruler of us all … and for all time
Pray that the Lord will give us strength
Pray that the Lord will give us strength
Pray that the Lord will bless humanity with peace
Translation: “The Lord gives us strength and blesses us with peace”
When forsaken by all the ones we love
You will strengthen us.   You will strengthen us.
When we’re full of doubts and devoid of trust.
You will strengthen us.   You will strengthen us.
Teach us patience, Lord.  Lead us on your path.
Lift us on your rock — Shine your light.
Give us courage, Lord.  We await your grace.
You will strengthen us.  You will strengthen us.
We will always trust the Lord  

instrumental interlude

We’re the hated, homeless refugees
But you’ll gather us.     You will gather us.
You will take us safely … to a place of peace
You will gather us.   You will gather us.  
You will gather us … when we’ve lost our way  
You will shower us … with your grace.
And you’ll shelter us … in your warm embrace.
As you gather us.  And you comfort us.
We will always trust the Lord
