I'm trying to find the music and ( Or the words ) to My God is near me all the time

My Lord Is Near Me All The Time

Words and Music: Barbara Fowler Gaultney

In the lightning flash across the sky
His mighty pow'r I see,
And I know if He can reign on high,
His light can shine on me.

I've seen it in the lightning, heard it in the thunder,
And felt it in the rain;
My Lord is near me all the time,
My Lord is near me all the time.

When the thunder shakes the mighty hills
And trembles ev'ry tree,
Then I know a God so great and strong
Can surely harbor me.

I've seen it in the lightning, heard it in the thunder,
And felt it in the rain;
My Lord is near me all the time,
My Lord is near me all the time.

When refreshing showers cool the earth
And sweep across the sea,
Then His rainbow shines within my heart,
His nearness comforts me.

I've seen it in the lightning, heard it in the thunder,
And felt it in the rain;
My Lord is near me all the time,
My Lord is near me all the time.

Thanks! I was just looking for the song too. We used to sing it in our youth choir (35 years ago). Isn't it fantastic to have such a great God!
Yours, Cambron

It's in Sing 'n' Celebrate!, publisher: Word, copyright 1971.

LOL... I have that Sing 'n' Celebrate book.

Thanks much. That song brought back lots of great memories.

I have been trying to find this song from my childhood for years. I couldn't believe that I am the only one in my family that remembers it because I hear it in my mind every time there is a storm. Thanks so much for posting!!!!! TC

If I'm not mistaken, that song was also published in one of the Southern Baptist hymnals. I don't recall if it was the 1975 or 1988 edition.

Awesome hymn!I used to sing the bass part of the harmonized version. It is always a comfort and joy to recall in times of distress and weakness. Praise God it still survives.
