YOU'RE A FRIEND
Music: Louanna Loong / WahLok, Lyrics: WahLok 

We were having our musician's practice one Saturday and Louanna, my church pianist played a melody ( verse) which she had written more than a year ago. I listened to it and liked it immediately. I woke up early the next morning (Sunday) and wrote the lyrics of the first two verses of the song. By Wednesday, I completed the whole song . When I e- mailed the lyrics to Louanna, she was excited as she always had Ps 91 in mind when she plays this melody. I praise God that the Holy Spirit gave us the same thoughts.

Verse 1
You are my help in time of need
You are my Rock where I plant my feet
My fortress, My refuge
My tower of strength
You are my shelter through the storms
I'm secure when You walk along
My helper, Defender
You're a friend who understands.

Verse 2
I hear Your whispers through the night
They turn my darkness into light
My fortress, My refuge
My tower of strength
You give me peace through times of fear
I'm secure when You are near
My helper, Defender
You're a friend who understands.

Bridge 1
I want to be close with You
Hiding in Your secret place
Resting in Your loving arms
And I want to be by Your side
Guide me through the storms of life
I'd never need to walk alone

Repeat verse 1

Bridge 2
The years have passed us by, We've weathered the storms
I 'm resting here at Your side , My love's still strong
O the joy of knowing You
Loving You and touching You
Is all my heart desire.

Repeat verse 1
