Watch over me


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



Behind the Song:
"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

Worthy


Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power, wealth and wisdom and thanks
And honor and glory and praise
Blessing and Honor Glory and Power
Let all I do give praise to You
Let all I sing be to honor You My King



Behind the Song:
"This song comes from the book of Revelation, Chapters 4 and 5. Those chapters describe a scene around the throne of God where all creation sings that only Jesus is worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, thanks, honor, glory, blessing, and praise. I tried to capture that feeling of grandeur, rapture, and transcendence in this song. The prayer at the end, ?Let All I Do,? was a tag that my friend Ryan and I wrote, and we would incorporate it at the end of Billy Foote?s great worship song ?You Are My King.? I wanted to include it somehow on this album, and it seemed to fit perfectly with this song. " - Aaron Shust
