There is one thing I desire one thing I seek
To hide in You abide in You
I’m Yours for You to keep
You prepare a table for me
You’re my Portion and my Cup
You are the Source of strength
Lord You will fill me up
You are my Shepherd in the wilderness
Whom shall I fear
You are the God who goes before me
My Rock and my Shield
In troubled times You will provide
And I shall not want
You are You are my God
(You are my God)
Though I walk through the valley of death
I will magnify and glorify
You with ev’ry breath
When the wicked stand against me
I will follow as You lead
You are the Truth and Way
The Lamp unto my feet
So I’ll be of good courage for You have overcome
You will not forsake me so I’ll wait upon You Lord
(REPEAT)
You are You are my God
