Hello, My mother Susen M. Wright wrote this song and we sang it at Beavercreek SDA Church on 7/16/2016.
She wrote it about fear because we have so much fear like the police being killed in Texas and in Louisiana.
All around, at each hand we see.
Things that make us fear,
We forget in these times in life,
You are ever near
With us always leaving never
Strength to lend and hold onto
Everlasting never failing God
O we need you,
We need your assurance
We need your love
We need your Presence,
Your sweet spirit like a dove
To take all our fears away
And to dwell on your love
We need your peace in life
That comes only from above
Each day brings, more bad news to us
what more can we stand?
Killing, Dying, every where we look
Fear has gripped this land,
Black or White, Muslim Christian or None
Nothing seems secure
Forgetting that you made each one of us
your the one thing that’s sure
We need your assurance
We need your love
We need your Presence,
Your sweet spirit like a dove
To take all our fears away
And to dwell on your love
We need your peace in life
That comes only from above
One day soon the sky will break into
We will see the cloud
Lightning flashings thunder rolls we look
And we’ll see Jesus Face,
You’ll be there, we’ll be there to go
first you’ll call the dead
they will rise then we to too meet
Our Savior it’s you!
We have your assurance
We have your love
We can have your Presence,
Your sweet spirit like a dove
To take all our fears away
And to dwell on your love
We need your peace in life
That comes just from you above
We have your assurance
We have your love
We can have your Presence,
Your sweet spirit like a dove
You’ll take all our fears away
And to dwell on your love
Please help us have your peace in life
That comes just from you above
