Analysis of The Lord comforts me
Anthony Logan 1952 (brooklyn)
Whenever I feel that a tear is near
You wipe my eyes and say my son have no fear
I shall forever be there I have lived my life
Complicated and angry not knowing who to trust Everyone was a stranger
But since you put a lock on my heart
And gave me a brand new start
And told me I can touch the stars
My life has become calm as a summer breeze My thoughts flow so free like the winter trees It is your name I shall call in my times of need I know you will answer my call and forever take heed
