Aaron Shust Album: Whispered And Shouted Track: Watch Over Me
Watch Over Me Lyrics
I was lonely You came waltzing over to me And Your eyes they saw right through me And You heard each one of my cries for help And You came to rescue me I was broken Every prayer that I had spoken Reached Your ears and all my tears weren't cried in vain You carried all my pain And put me back together again You watch over me in the darkest valleys You watch over me when the night seems long You help me to see the way before me You watch over me; You watch over me Always faithful To be leading, at this moment Interceding for Your children Though I've wandered astray from Your infinite ways You've never left me alone -[to Chorus] Take my frozen heart; awaken me Never once have You forsaken me Even though I walk through this shadow of death You will guide and defend me You'll guard and protect me Even though I walk through this shadow of death You will lead me home
Song Description: "I was wondering if the people of Israel felt butterflies of excitement in their stomachs when Moses said something to them like, "Pack your bags quickly, because after 430 years of slavery, I'm here to tell you that God has heard your prayers, and He's giving us a land of our own. We're leaving tonight!" God watched over His people as they journeyed through the desert to a place they couldn't yet see. It's easy to feel their pain as they hoped to be delivered from slavery in Egypt; while they searched their own hearts to discover if they really believed in this "God of their forefathers," and whether or not He would truly deliver them. Jesus said, "I am with you always, to the very end of the age." So, when your night seems long, when you walk through a dark valley in life, He will show the way before you. He will never leave you alone. He will watch over you. Believe that!" - Aaron Shust
