Watches Over Me

(Mark Grosz)
Cheryl Smith, Dave Nicola, Gene Hayes, Mark Grosz - Copyright © 2006
Written from Psalm 121, as an assignment at the 2003 worship songwriter's retreat (seminars4worship). Three other friends and co-writers (Cheryl Smith, Dave Nicola, and Gene) got together and co-wrote this until almost 2am. Collaboration is such a cool way to write songs. I think unless the Lord directly drops the song on me, I will make this my preferred method of songwriting in the future.

To the hills, I lift up my eyes
Where does my help come from
My help comes from the Lord
Maker of heaven and earth
Maker of heaven and earth

You are my help in time of need
Day and night, a shade to cover me
You never slumber nor sleep
The Lord who watches over me
