For the Ham Family

---

I seem so alone

I cannot see

I feel far from Home

But You have never left me

The depths of my heart

Are known but to You

And You guide each part

Toward the good, the beautiful, the true

And You’ll be my shield

And You’ll be my strength

To keep me from harm

And You’ll never yield

My heart You will shape

To weather the storm

And e’en though the powers of Hell

Approach on every side

you’ll be my shield

you’ll be my strength

To weather the storm

You search me, Lord, and You know me

Discerning my purpose from afar

I searched for You in creatures

But found emptiness instead

And to seek a sense of stillness

In the whirlwind of the storm

I turned to You

And to Your peace

Our hearts are all restless

‘Till they rest in Thee

The world may be senseless

But You have nourished me

I don’t know what’s coming

Or what lies in store

The rigging is humming

And someday I

shall reach

Your shore

And You’ll be my shield

And You’ll be my strength

To keep me from harm

And You’ll never yield

My heart You will shape

To weather the storm

And e’en though the powers of Hell

Approach on every side

you’ll be my shield

you’ll be my strength

To weather the storm
