You are Holy Lord - By Michael Battersby

I am reminded of a song I heard in Gosford, Sydney in year 2003. The song keeps ringing in my ears and I got hold of the lyrics stashed in one of the files. It is such an assuring, comforting, healing, overcoming and promising song. It drives, pulls me closer to God, wanting only Him at the moment. A child wanting only the Father, wiping all fears, tears and be rocked in His comforting arms. I hope I can get hold of the CD, which is stored away in one of my boxes.
