A Hymn for Sheltering in Place

Greg Scheer (composer, author and speaker) has written “a hymn for sheltering in place” and posted it on his website (see link below).

He writes: “When I woke this morning, I considered how quickly the world changes. People all over Michigan–all over the world–are finding themselves confined to their homes. Maybe they’re dreading the silence. Maybe they can’t imagine getting through a whole day with all their children at home. Maybe they’ll lie awake at night worrying about their loved ones catching the virus.

This simple song, dubbed “a hymn for sheltering in place” reminds us that Jesus walks with us during these times.”

Greg is offering the lead sheet for free. There’s also a piano accompaniment available for purchase.

 On my longest day,
in my darkest night,
Jesus, please be near.
On my longest day,
in my darkest night,
Jesus, you are here.

You are with me,
you are with me
every hour of every day.
You are with me,
you are with me,
Jesus, you are here.
Jesus, you are here.
