Today we sang the following song during church. I love the words to this hymn so much that I wanted to post them here.
Sometimes when life seems gentle and blessings flood my way,
I turn my gaze away from You and soon forget to pray.
But when the sky grows darker and courage turns to fear,
My anxious voice cries upward with words You long to hear.
Lord, I need You when the sea of life is calm.
O Lord, I need You when the wind is blowing strong.
Whether trails come or cease, keep me always on my knees.
Lord, I need You. Lord, I need You.
Lord, help me to remember I'm weak but You are strong.
I cannot sing apart from You, for Lord, you are my song.
Although I'm prone to wander and boast in all I do;
Lord, keep my eyes turned upward so I depend on You.
Lord, I need You when the sea of life is calm.
O Lord, I need You when the wind is blowing strong.
Whether trails come or cease, keep me always on my knees.
Lord, I need You. Lord, I need You.
This song will always remind me of my son, Luke, who passed away almost two years ago now. Thank you Ana and Leah for singing this song that day; I will never forget it. ☺ God is good!!!

I was thinking about you today when we sang this in church. I turned to Leah and said, "The last time we sang this was at Luke's funeral. I wonder how Nikki is doing."
It is such a good song! Thanks for posting the words.
I thought of you when we sang this song. I wanted to come over and give you a hug soo bad!! :)
I love you dear Nikki!
Yes, it looked a little like Niagara Falls over in the "Sowers section" of church today during that song. ☺ But I still love that song, and I cried to it even when I would listen to it on Patch the Pirate. ☺ But I will always remember you two and your dad singing it. It was beautiful.
