Written by Buddy Sutton to the tune of Londonderry Air
Story behind the song
Buddy asked if I'd record this for him so I worked up an arrangement and recorded this track. One of the most beautiful melodies ever composed teamed up with a great writer.
Lyrics
Oh Lord my God
My heart, my heart was yearning
For you to come and set my spirit free
That you would walk with me where e'er I wandered
And if I fell you'd come and rescue me
And when life's road was long and oh so weary
And all my burdens bore their weight on me
Then you'd be there your loving arms around me
Oh Lord my God, oh Lord my God, I longed for thee
Oh Lord my God
My Life, my life was empty
For I was lost and doubt it filled my mind
Till in my heart I heard your voice a calling
To come to you and leave my doubts behind
Now when life's road is long and oh so weary
And all my burdens bear their weight on me
I know you're there your loving arms surround me
Oh Lord my God, oh Lord my God, youve rescued me
I know you're there your loving arms surround me
Oh Lord my God, oh Lord my God, youve rescued me
Oh Lord my God, oh Lord my God, youve rescued me
