The Lyrics
Verse 1
When words feel small beside the road you walk, Or pretend the ache is easy now. But I can bring a faithful whisper: God is near somehow. When the valley feels deep and still, When the next step feels unknown, The Lord is not far from your breathing; You do not walk alone.
Chorus
So let this be My Strength and Shield, A prayer for father's day (from child who almost lost dad). Psalm 28:7 is the reference near it, Like a candle in the night. When your strength feels thin and quiet, When the way is hard to see, God is close, His love is steady, Hope is still beneath your feet.
Verse 2
There is grace for the Shepherd near, There is room for tears and rest. You do not have to force an answer To be held against His chest. I will not make pain a performance, I will not rush your heart along. This is only love beside you, Turning prayer into a song.
