Watch over me O Lord I do not fear your gaze Your look brings about no sting For I am no longer a child of Adam Shame and guilt have been removed A child of Jesus I am Washed in his blood Completely forgiven and made whole Now your son as well And fearless as I place my trust in you So over me place your watch O Lord Selah Watch over me O Lord For I have chosen your path over the path of the world I have sought your Kingdom Over riches and fame And I have entered into your kingdom No longer a member of Satan's domain Ready to receive the blessing Life forevermore Abiding in peace and mercy and goodness It is your child now to protect So over me place your watch O Lord Selah Watch over me O Lord Satan did his best To tempt and to destroy But could not succeed For greater was He who was within Then he who was in the world So I seek your constant vigil 'Til life with you Shall be forevermore Dwelling in your tent With goodness and mercy abiding And peace flowing like a river So over me place your watch O Lord It is a blanket from the cold And a shield against evil's hold And a comfort be it told I place my trust in you Amen |
