Robert Budd Dwyer (November 21, 1939 – January 22, 1987) was an American politician in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He served from 1971 to 1981 as a Republican member of the Pennsylvania State Senate representing the state's 50th district. He served as the 30th Treasurer of Pennsylvania from January 20, 1981 to January 22, 1987. On that day, Dwyer called a news conference in the Pennsylvania state capital of Harrisburg where he killed himself in front of the gathered reporters with a .357 caliber revolver. Dwyer's suicide was broadcast later that day to a wide television audience across the state of Pennsylvania.
In the early 1980s, Pennsylvania discovered its state workers had overpaid federal taxes due to errors in state withholding. Many accounting firms competed for a multimillion-dollar contract to determine compensation to each employee. In 1986, Dwyer was convicted of receiving a bribe from the California firm that ultimately won the contract. He was scheduled to be sentenced on those charges on January 23, 1987, the day after his suicide.
Searching for truth to hold onto
Your looking for a reason
So much confusion, the world is crying out
It's time for me to speak aloud
I will never be silent, can never be tamed
I will always speak Your name
Chorus:
You invade my soul
Lord take control
I'm coming back, coming back to
(2x)
Throw away your sadness and let it go
Let the oil of gladness take control
Give Him your burdens, cast your cares
He died for you, He'll always be there
Chorus
You, your always there
I remember you, you remember me
I live in You
Holy are you, worthy are you
Your worthy of the praise I bring to You
I lift my voice to worship You
Then you come, then you come
You invade my soul, yeah you take control
Im coming back, coming back
