I BE YOUR WATER-LYRICS

i————
i be your shelter
i be your rain
i be your everything
i be your friend
i be your water
when your thirsty and dry…

i woke up mourning in a crowded sick place
surrounded by evil, protected by grace
there were these hands, hundreds reaching for me
they knew exactly who and what i should be
each way i turned, had me stronger than the last
which would i choose & how could i pass

then i heard whispers (be still -be still -be still)
from deep inside me (be still -be still -be still)
then i heard whispers (be still -be still -be still)
from deep inside me (be still -be still -be still)

as i gave power to the sound of my own voice
a way broke before me, i followed my choice
i walked along the way others lives had been
til’ i came to what seemed like an end
again these hands, reaching beckoning for me
they knew exactly who and what i should be

again the whispers (be still -be still -be still)
keeping me steady (be still -be still -be still)
again the whispers (be still -be still -be still)
keeping me steady (be still -be still -be still)

way before me was mine to make
there was no road, no path to take
as i had my life, through this muddy walk way
others toiled beside me for a justice new day
still i have felt lonely most of the time
walking this sweet freedom struggle of mine
still i have felt lonely most of the time
walking this sweet freedom struggle of mine

saved by the whispers (be still -be still -be still)
keeping me steady (be still -be still -be still)
saved by the whispers (be still -be still -be still)
keeping me steady (be still -be still -be still)

yesterday i stumbled around the bend
i saw you standing, you reached me your hand
i seen you before, oh many of times
why your life had plowed the road, right next to mine
now you make the sun rise in my sky
you rock my cradle hunny, you make me fly
you keep me company
now you make the sun rise in my sky
you rock my cradle hunny, you make me fly
you keep me company

i————
I be your shelter
i be your rain
i be your everything
i be your friend
i be your water
when your thirsty and dry…

Psalm 33: 10 - 22

10 “The LORD foils the plans of the nations;
    he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever,
    the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
    the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the LORD looks down
    and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches
    all who live on earth—
15 he who forms the hearts of all,
    who considers everything they do.
16 No king is saved by the size of his army;
    no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
    despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him,
    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death
    and keep them alive in famine.
20 We wait in hope for the LORD;
    he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
    for we trust in his holy name.
22 May your unfailing love be with us, LORD,
    even as we put our hope in you.”

Dear Lord, We are all Your children; Please show Your Mercy and Compassion for all the suffering beings of Your Creation. Will

@@littlewhitepetals8790 Amen!
May,
24 “The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.”’
Numbers 6:24-26 New King James Version
AMEN.

Bless You!
Through my life, Powers greater than myself, have saved me from myself, in spite of myself.
I have Angels in both worlds, and might be replying to one now, Amen!
Please Be Well, and Stay Strong, Will

This song has saved my life in many ways. I still cry when I hear it. I am not a person who thinks religion is effective. I do not think it is even helpful. But the faith that this song expresses makes me want to believe.

We were fortunate enough to host Sweet Honey in the Rock at my college, Haverford, in the early 90s. The a cappella group I was in had a couple of their songs in our repertoire, which was how I was Introduced to their music.
I still can’t hear this song without crying. For utter joy. The passion, the beauty, the hope and the pain are so honest, so acute, and so immediate in every note. It overwhelms me. They are an American treasure.

@synchronoise71

Someone randomly sent me this when I was at one of my lowest points in life. I cried

@ted1091

I Love (with a capital L) everything Sweet Honey and Bernice Johnson Reagon have ever done - but this song is my favorite ever. As with everything, Dr. Reagon reaches deep into a place for the words, the sounds, and the spirit. This piece should finish with Amen.

Blessed Be

@914vella

So soothing and uplifting harmonizing like this never grows old, Praise God always for such joy

@bluebleeder1198

I have no idea how I came across this group but am so thankful I did. What this sound does to a broken mind and body is nothing but blissful medication for the soul.
