And I googled these lyrics as I was at a Penance Service last night and this song was played as an instrumental. I knew I had heard it before and tried and tried to remember the words as I felt God speaking to me. Of course, I remembered them a little different and so googled, “shelter me O Lord” and then your site came up. Seems as if God is speaking to all of us! Have a great day and may God continue to bless you and your family this Lent.

This beautiful, powerful hymn. I asked for it to be sung at my mother’s funeral this past February. Mom died just 5 days before Valentine’s day and 8 days before her 94th birthday. The words were sweet comfort to me and so appropriate. Thank you for your site and for the reminder. Katherine, I share your feelings exactly. Interestingly enough, I did not read your post until I had already written mine and was just about to hit “Submit”. (Like me to do things backwards LOL!)

And I googled these lyrics as well today.

I have heard this beautiful hymn many times in church but never fully considered its meaning until it was chosen for my father’s funeral mass.

I get it now, and how gorgeous it truly is. I dont know if I will ever be able to listen to it again without tears of sorrow and joy.

I,too, had googled these lyrics this morning because I find this hymn “playing” in my head at odd times during the day. I first heard this beautiful hymn at a funeral mass held for a friend of my husband who had committed suicide. This hymn was sung during communion and I found myself moved to the point of tears every time I heard the refrain “beyond my wants, beyond my fears.” If only we could get past our all too human “wants” which all too often get in the way of what we really need. Thank you for sharing this hymn.

Praise GOD for HE has bountifully blessed you and your family. I learnt this song from my choir leader last evening and we sang in yesterday’s mass as well as this morning mass at St. Anthony’s Church (Bangalore, India). The song touched my heart so much that i wanted to hear it over again today and searched through google that landed me here and I thank our Lord for it.

GOD has been so gracious to me and my family too that we truly lack no good thing in our lives. May this stand as a testimony to HIS love and goodness.

Talking about the wants, i’m reminded of a funny incident that happened in recent past. I “wanted” a car, so I could listen to gospel hymns on my way to office (using the car’s music system) . Guess what? My brother gifted me an an iPOD and I started to listen to His praise on the way while riding my motorcycle But the story doesn’t end there, as after a year’s time, HE did bless me with a new job and then a car too.

HE makes everything wonderful in HIS time isn’t it?

May the Good Lord bless you and your family and keep you in HIS love.
