"loving presence"

I need to share this song with you today. A good friend sent me the nicest email this week. I am so thankful for friends who are compassionate and will pray and tell me that if he were in Dave's shoes... " I would want to spare my sisters the experience of my suffering. But what I would really deeply desire is just their loving presence. I'd realize that there is little you can do or little that you can say. But your loving presence would say it all." I'm so thankful I'm able to spend so much time with him and comforted by the fact that this friend is probably right.

Shephard us, Lord, beyond our wants, beyond our fears from death unto life.
