Ever Present Help




Father of the Heavenly lights...
who shines most beautifully
most gloriously in the darkness,
Gives us everything we need.
God’s light to us in our darkest days –
A comfort to our broken hearts.
Your compassion incarnates itself
In your children you have set apart

Father of the Heavenly lights...
Illuminate the darkness in me
Set us free and set us right
Purge this dire den of iniquity
You do not love us from a distance
Your tender mercy is revealed
In intimate and profound ways
As our vacant souls it fills

Oh ever present help in time of need
Wrap us in the arms of your sovereignty
Like a loving shepherd you will lead.
Hold us in your hands as you set us free
Here, written on your palm
Our anxieties you calm
Oh ever present help in time of need

Bridge
We cast ourselves on you
And you are faithful, you are true
In the valley of death’s shadow
We can trust and we can know
That you are with us  You are for us
With broken spirit we can trust
Our hungering souls to feed
Oh ever present help in time of need

Oh ever present help in time of need
Wrap us in the arms of your sovereignty
Like a loving shepherd you will lead.
Hold us in your hands as you set us free
Here, written on your palm
Our anxieties you calm
Oh ever present help in time of need

Psalm 46:1
