Hide Me, a song by Rev. Bruce Parham, is one of those songs that sticks with you — an “oatmeal” song, as my bishop would call it.

The “Hide Me” lyrics (I notice those don’t include all the singing in tongues and “I’m tryin’ to move on but I feel Him in here…” ad-libbing that the Rev. does) are just what I need on days I forget I need to be hidden by God.

“He kept me hidden…he kept me hidden…”

“He saved me from my own silly self…because if He’d have let me do everything I wanted to do, I wouldn’t be here right now.”

I love it!

It sounds like an old gospel song, but it’s pretty current, compared to Mahalia Jackson or someone else.

I hope to buy the CD and see how the rest of the songs are…
