One of my favorite songs, “By the waters,” David Meece, circa 2002.
Close my eyes
And lead me by the waters
That flow beneath the Savior’s feet
And bathe my restless soul in silence
And bind this darkness with Your peace
And bind this darkness with Your peace
For I’m tired
And weakened from the battles
That scar the deepest part of me
And my heart is overwhelmed in sorrows
That none but You could ever see
That none but You could ever see
Close my eyes and let my spirit wander
Through the vastness of your mystery
Let me feel the fullness of Your glory
Rising from the heart of me
‘Till the day
I pass across the waters
And soothe my brow beneath Your hand
May I find in You my strength and comfort
For by Your grace alone I stand
For by Your grace alone I stand
