I am always with you;
You hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
And after you will take me into glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing that I desire besides you.
My flesh, my heart may fail,
But God is the strength of my heart
And my portion forever.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing that I desire besides you.
Those who live without you surely die
Those who live without you surely die
But as for me, it is good, good to be near God.
I have made the LORD my refuge;
I will tell of all your deeds.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing that I desire besides you.
