Your Love Surrounds MeBy Elton Smith and Larry HolderCCLI Number: 4319524
I have been corresponding with Nahar for several years, ever since he converted from Islam to Christianity.
Please take a few minutes to read his testimony.
This song is dedicated to his struggle to survive in a culture that is hostile to any other religion.
Most of us live in open societies. I'm not sure we can really understand what he experiences each day.
Larry and I went back to the Psalms of David for inspiration in writing this song.

(Introduction)
(Verse 1) The foe encamps around me Their darkened world surrounds me Far throughout the land. Yet You're the faithful Giver So able to deliver By Your mighty hand. (Chorus) Though battles rage, all fear is gone Though mountains fall, Your love is strong. O Lord, my Shield and Savior You keep me safe from harm Please hear me when I cry You hear me when I cry. My Savior, stay beside me Renew my strength and guide me, Ever in Your care I'm ever in Your care. Your love surrounds me Through dark of night, Your love surrounds me My guiding light, Your love surrounds me I will not fear, Your love surrounds me You're always near. (Verse 2) Though mortal danger finds me And evil seeks to bind me, Grace and peace I've found. Amid the daily trials My soul is safe because Your love is all around. (Repeat Chorus) Though battles rage, all fear is gone Though mountains fall, Your love is strong. O Lord, my Shield and Savior You keep me safe from harm Please hear me when I cry You hear me when I cry. My Savior, stay beside me Renew my strength and guide me, Ever in Your care I'm ever in Your care. Your love surrounds me Through dark of night, Your love surrounds me My guiding light, Your love surrounds me I will not fear, Your love surrounds me You're always near. (Repeat Verse 1) The foe encamps around me Their darkened world surrounds me Far throughout the land. Yet You're the faithful Giver So able to deliver By Your mighty hand.
