O LORD, YOU ARE MY KEEPER,
I will never be in want;
You hold me close, so tender,;
And quiet me with love.
And I hear You singing over me,
I hear You singing over me.
Songs of countless promises,
Like kisses from heaven they fall.
‘How loved am I.’
Songs that take me to higher heights,
Such favour I know is divine.
‘How loved am I, how loved am I.’
O Lord, You are my keeper,
My heart is safe with You.
Though in life there will be valleys,
You take my hand and lead me through.
