My neighbor Natalie Stone introduced me to this beautiful song by Rob Gardner, and I had the privilege of accompanying Natalie in 2018! Even though you'll miss a bit of the melody I wanted to share this, along with the lyrics. “My Kindness Shall Not Depart From Thee” by Rob Gardner For a little while Have I forsaken thee; But with great mercies will I gather thee. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee For a moment. But with everything kindness will I gather thee, And with mercy will I take thee 'neath my wings, For the mountains shall depart and the hills shall be removed And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea, But know, my child, My kindness shall not depart from thee! Though thine afflictions seem At times too great to bear, I know thine ev’ry thought and ev’ry care. And though the very jaws Of hell gape after thee I am with thee. And with everlasting mercy will I succor thee, And with healing will I take thee 'neath my wings, Though the mountains shall depart And the hills shall be removed And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea, Know, my child, My kindness shall not depart from thee! How long can rolling waters Remain impure? What pow’r shall stay the hand of God? The Son of Man hath descended below all things. Art thou greater than He? So hold on thy way, for I shall be with thee. And mine angels shall encircle thee. Doubt not what thou knowest, Fear not man, for he Cannot hurt thee. But with everlasting kindness will I gather thee, And with mercy will I take thee 'neath my wings. For the mountains shall depart and the hills shall be removed And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea, But know, my child, My kindness shall not depart from thee! My kindness shall not depart from thee!
