A song

He never slumbers

by royowen

God never slumbers

Verse
Whenever on the mountain
or in the valley deep.
God will never slumber
neither does He sleep.
Though crooked be the pathway
the road too steep to climb.
He'll straighten every highway
and level paths in time.

Chorus 1
Now my eyes have never seen
the glory of His face.
My ears will always listen
to wonders of His grace.
I know my God is faithful
and one day I will see.
The Lord who won my pardon
His wounds that set me free.

Chorus 2
I know my God will guide me
home beyond the bend.
He says He'll never leave me
His caring never ends
O great and mighty Father
Please let me ever be
your loving son and servant
for me that one decree.

I wrote this song quite a long time ago but quite awhile after the Family gospel group dissolved, my children were adults by this time, I'd forgotten that I'd even written it, but it was probably the best I'd ever produced, The words are very scriptural with a very gentle and sweet melody. I had to copy the lyrics from the recording I'd made at the time.

Psalm 121:4
Behold, He who guards Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. Indeed, the Guardian of Israel never rests or sleeps. ...

Psalm 45:4-5
Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

Thanks for reading. R.Owen
